What is it worth?

[Mike80911]

Looks like a nice car. Was thinking of bidding. What do you guys think this will sell for?

On BaT, it will sell for $28k. Let’s see how far off I am when it’s done.

He started at $28,500 when he first listed it. He should be happy if he can get $25k.

There’s a BaT premium for this car. If he can’t get $28.5k for it here, he might get $29k for it there.

Good catch very interesting. I think $25K or less would be worth it but no higher than that. I doubt BAT gave him a reserve of 28,5

Looks like you were right sold for $31,911 without the buyer fee.

It’s a nice looking car. Not $32k nice but it has a visual appeal that makes BaT bidders go crazy. It really is funny that he can’t sell it for $28k here but can get nearly $32k on BaT.

Agreed. I obviously discounted the bat bump on this one.

Aero made the difference imo. Was an expensive (so uncommon) option when they were new.

Actually, it makes perfect sense if you understand Econ 101. BAT has more viewers than PP. Increased exposure translates to increased demand, which translates to a higher selling price.
