I hear you..I sold my alfa GTV there... Same deal except they were just on the cusp of being bought and more famous. So I was able to say no, my reserve is 30 or I sell elsewhere.. Back then the guy caved but now they don't care, they got so much traffic. I never heard back from him either. Post sale, you no longer exist to them. Buyer vetting ? none. Help with transaction ? none... Honestly reserve is irrelevant, if you refuse to sell the car, what are they gonna do, ban you from BAT ? ;-)
Great site for selling and maximizing profit... My opinion is it's now so popular with a worldwide reach, that there's bound to be some rich idiot somewhere with no idea about market values, who will overbid. So you will never ever find a deal anymore.
