This change in policy is downright ignorant.
Every single transaction I have done on my motorcycles involved a phone call and conversation back and forth. Resulting in deals being struck. I realize with B.a.T.'s format you have a chance to post questions and comments during the auction - but when the auction is over and you are the high bidder.....there's a lot more to discuss at that point that wouldn't make any sense discussing beforehand. Plus you both get to feel each other out a bit to see how much you're willing to negotiate.
Hope it all works out for you, Greg. That's a great car and a real piece of Porsche 911 history anyone would be happy to own and drive!
