Congrats Curtis! Hope it brought as much as you wanted.

What a crazy day! When the listing FINALLY went up on BaT it jumped from an opening bid of $5k to $91967.00 over night and then sat there over the holiday weekend. Monday it went up to $93k and parked there for the remainder of the week. I had considered taking today off, but it didn't look like it was going to meet the reserve so I didn't call out. Work actually called and pushed my show time back to 3pm, which turned out to be a good thing. I was able to take a few calls on the car during the last 30 min, but still the bidding wasn't moving. The auction was set to expire at 1:05 and at 1pm bidding started, but very slow. Didn't look like it would go. I was talking to John on the phone and texting with Brycen when things started to take off. When it passed my reserve, I posted "Reserve Met" and that seemed to intensify the bidding. Probably not, but it seemed that way. Brycen asked what I really wanted for the car and I told him $150k, but I didn't think it would get there. Well.... I was wrong and happy to be so.

My ego wanted to beat the 68 that went for $130k, so that was a bonus.

It's a bitter sweet day and I will miss the car. It's a lot of fun to drive and I've had a great time with it.

Congratulations Curtis, well worth the money. I didn't think you'd have a hard time selling it.

That’s Savana. She’s super down to earth and easy going.

Oh I knew it would go. Question was if I could
Get a decent price for it. I did decent.

Hummm. Ive been debating about building something else as well. That website has some great traction and it gives me a idea what my car is worth as well. Congrats

I watched a few auctions on BaT before signing up. Initially I was impressed but things quickly changed and they went silent. Emails, phone calls and messages via Social Media where ignored. I gave up and disputed the CC charge which got their attention. I gave the rep the time line for everything and he agreed they had dropped the ball, but assured me the car would be listed quickly. Twelve days late I sent him another message asking what he would be thinking if he where in my position...I was contacted the next day about getting the car listed. That process took a week. From submission to listing was excessive IMO. Now they are getting busier and I understand that, but I was told two weeks when I first made contact. They didn’t push the listing other than on the BaT website. I expected it to pop up on their Social Media sites. Their IG page has 254k followers. It’s a numbers game and I was disappointed by their lack of commitment. I pushed the car on IG as hard as I could and asked everyone I know to spread the word. I’m sure that helped to some extent. All the positive comments helped a great deal. Other listings tend to have a lot of questions and comments that don’t directly apply to the listing. Thanks to the LG crew and friends some Social Media platforms, my listing was nothing but support for the car being very well built and me being OCD.

If you list with them, get an estimated time line, be prepared to push the car via social media on your own and stay on top of them. I also recommend hiring someone that shoots cars to take photos for you. They see details like we do and it shows in their work. Driving video is a plus as is the function of items like power locks, windows, etc. set your reserve at or very near to the price you would accept if you haggled with a buyer in person. They will try get you to come down on it.

They don’t seem to understand Pro touring cars. CHC was the ground breaker for them and it’ll catch on in time. May take some explaining on your part as to why you want what you want.

Good Luck!
