Business probably sold for $50 million.

Couldn't happen to a better guy.

BAT is a powerhouse brand in the automotive world.
I hope Hearst does some exciting things beyond auctions.

And let's hope they shut down the idiot mouth breathers comments section.
With no public comments and questions on the listings, it’s just eBay w better photos. Wtf are you talking about??

The expertise on the comment sections of BaT listings is astonishing...just read any muscle car or C2 Corvette auction...there are guys who literally know serial numbers of components based on build dates...

On Porsche listings, the expertise isn’t quite as impressive but still pretty good. Former owners jumping in to verify or dispute claims made, offering history, etc. I’ve seen many shady sellers who were trying to pull a fast one get busted by commenters and have their listings canceled by BaT. Any monkey business whatsoever from buyers or sellers gets an immediate and permanent ban.

Once again, wtf are you smoking?
