(Not that skirt, silly.)
Just went perusing through BaT. (Very nice Albert Blue '70S coupe Bill is selling!)
Don't think I've ever seen so many smartest-one-in-the-room types in one place. (Ok... maybe Paris Accord)
How do you not tell some of those windbags to go pound sand? LOL
Not sure that's a good fit for me after all...
Actually I had the same fear when I went this route, but it wasn't too bad. The goofy comments that you get pissed at you just need to realize that they are not the buyers they are the lurkers that just like to comment. I had a couple of comments I wasn't happy about and when I searched their posts on BAT that's all they did they weren't buyers. If you have a good car you will do alright I was hoping for $90k on my 914-6 and I got $82 with a $75k reserve so the big auction houses would have had to hammer at $90k to get me the $82K. The problem with RM & Gooding they wanted my car but no reserve! BAT cost me $100 bucks plus a photographer for some glamour pics.

The key seems to be ignoring useless/stupid comments and answer valid questions only.
Some sellers do not participate at all, or only very little. I didn't feel like I was all that participatory, and some said it was nice to see such an active seller. So...not sure what that says.
Frank, you raise a good question about "fit," though perhaps a little of your salt would do the BaT crowd some good.

To be candid, it does sound like fun.
Please go to BaT Frank. It’s not often the opportunity arises for entertainment of this quality.
Cheers,

More info on new acquisition plz
I don't know... it sounds like I could be one of those hecklers. I honestly can't blame them for roughing up flippers and charlatans who tell tall tales. Embellishing or exaggerating to accommodate one's personal agenda and pocketbook eventually comes back to bite them. Present a product and be honest; anything apart from that I say grab the torches and pitchforks.
The Sky Blue C coupe Vic and Barb sold was a great car. How could anyone give those two a hard time?
New acquisition is probably not too exciting around here. Let's just say it's knot a Porsche, has twin Volvo diesels, and was a hull of a deal.
Peter,
Thanks for the tips and lead on Denwerks. I will do my homework.
too many weirdos on BaT. Just my two cents.
