Likes for sellers: Immediate access to a global marketplace with potential buyers, many without financial limitations. And reliable, timely sale completion.
Dislikes for buyers: As a greater percentage of quality vehicles are listed via BAT where you must compete with aforementioned buyers with no financial limitations, fewer such vehicles are available via traditional means.
Dislikes for sellers: None that I can think of.
Case-in-point…an auction I had hoped to bid on thinking it might be worth low $20k’s…

296 hours of labor equates to how much? I guess what you pay yourself. IDT I'd invest any time if I didn't think it would return $50/hr plus costs.
Yeah, at 60K he rang the bell, but "low twenties" is insulting his time and effort if it is legitimate. Having spent a 1000 hours each on a couple of cars, it's believable to me.
