You answered your own question. People with money don't want to waste 2 years of their lives hunting down a car. Ever hear of this obscure company called Amazon? They're onto something. With BAT, you click a button and the car is delivered to your door a week later.
Why are BAT prices higher than ads for sale pinned on the corkboard the corner grocery store ? Auction effect is real. BAT is nothing new, the concept was common in the 1700s. If you're willing to pay $x, you're also willing to pay $x+1. Basic. Anyone expecting to find a bargain at an auction doesn't know what the word means. There are people gladly willing to pay a 20% premium for delivery. Amazon knows this and has taken over the planet. Not complicated. Add in a quarantine, and expect BAT prices to spike 50%. Also, wealthy people value time over money. Contrast this to deal seekers who take 2 years to find a car, and those who search for a decade. The wealthy click a button and get things rolling fast. BAT is for the wealthy. Guys who want a bargain do not shop online, and only buy cars on CL.
