I guess it depends on the broker, and how big a hurry you are to sell it.

A consigner has incentive to ask top dollar, and that is fine if you don't want/need the money right away, and are willing to pay the cost to avoid the hassle.

Also, how good of a car is it? Is the broker a Porsche guy, or a car seller in general. If it is a mid-high mileage driver, it may not matter much. If it is a low mileage, original car that should bring a premium, go with a guy who understand the market and what is required.

I have yet to sell a car on BaT, but it is a way to get national exposure, and a quick, certain sale (if your reserve is realistic) with low risk of scammers/shill bidders, etc.

But you have to put the effort in -- full pictures, full disclosure, and personal involvement in the Q&A. otherwise, that audience will pick your car apart. It also needs to be a "no stories" car. It doesn't have to be perfect -- but the flaws need to be explained. If the bulk of the history is "oral", the numbers don't match, there is no COA, and you try to gloss the car as better than it is (which most brokers do) -- it will get hammered.
