Interesting. They show a current bid and an asking $ figure. Are they telling us what the reserve is?
I noticed that too, not sure if that is a "new" thing or what
I think that means thats the next price bump Currently 100k looking for a bump to 105k.

Duh on my part - OK that is the equivalent of the auctioneer asking for the next increment up - thanks for the help (next week I learn to read)
Thoughts on final number? I have to say the pictures are very honest. They could have left most of the imperfections out of the photos, but that is admirable that they didn't.
Hello,
Do any of you know how to save these photos? I have tried unsuccessfully. Please let me know if you can save them and how you did it.
Thanks,
Eric

When they've not allowed for copying/downloading as in this instance you can typically do the following - Hope you all can make sense of this:
If you're using a PC (not phone) there is a button/function key at the top right that is labeled "prt sc" press that and it takes a screen-grab/photo of your desktop,
then open your photo imaging/reader/display program ("Paint" is typically on most PC's) open that program and then open/create a NEW file (blank page) and
then press the "ctrl" button lower left and also the "V" button at the same time - that will paste the image onto the new document/image.
then crop as it will have copied your entire showing desktop (probably more than you wanted) and the "Save As" and then name the file you've created and then navigate to where you want to save it or create "New Folder" name and save.
(There must be a you tube video or 20 that demonstrate this)

Yes, seems Bring-A-Trailer (BaT) has begun to influence other auction sites as well.

Just goes to show you how unsophisticated I am. :P
Sold for a buck fifteen. Seems like a great buy to me.
wonder if we know who got it???
What's tough is that inspecting a car at auction prior to sale right now must be a nightmare. I can't imagine people have easy access to look over a car before they buy it.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone is using an inspector prior to an auction purchase.

What's interesting is that the description does not state that the car has any of its original drive train. However, it's not a bad looking car!
The 2011 registry has an informative summary of the history in the footnotes!
Sadly they still charge 10% buyers premium, even though they don't have the expense of hosting on site. BaT charges 5% with a $5000 cap.
^^
Does BAT really charge 5%?
What are they offering that is above and beyond an Ebay?
BAT has an incredible peanut gallery.
Some of the commenters swing for the fences. For the newbie they give great insight into the cars being offered.
Eric just take a photo with u phone of the picture on your laptop screen I do it all the time and save it on phone plus u can adjust the photo with u phone.
Hello Everyone,
I appreciate all of you who responded to my request regarding saving the photos. I have been able to successfully save them to my computer.
Thanks,
Eric
Sold! Didn't seem bad at all. Full commission for online auction! Super low overhead. Probably here to stay
I don't know, if you sell online via RM Sotheby's you pay a 10% sellers fee. So in this instance, the seller sold for approx $90k, and buyer paid $115k. Again, great for the house. Compare to Bring a Trailer, another online auction, seller only pays $99, and buyer pays 5% of sales price, to a max of $5k. Fees alone are a no-brainer, exposure too, I think is in BaT's favor. To me, if you lose the physical presence, why pay all these fees?
What does the actual registry say about this GT350 I have seen some things on the pics, but would like to know what the registry says before.
Well.... We do not know what the seller "actually" paid in sellers commission but... We do know the buyer paid $115,500 "all in"
My bet is the seller did "not" pay 10 percent in sellers commission.

What I posted is the detail found in all auction sites. The details state buyer and seller fees as fixed amounts.
However, make no mistake that both fees are negotiable depending who you are. Sellers here, elsewhere, love to tout inflated prices - hammer plus 10% as a given. Mecum, others now post all-in prices, where a few years ago they only posted hammer prices, leaving it to adults to assume there were buyer fees, but to what amount is private. Now it's easier, self-serving to inflate and just add 10% to everything. Nobody will know what's done in private, no?

Buyers fees are "non negotiable"...
You are correct about sellers fees depending on who you are, how much business you have done with a particular auction company and so on...
Entry fee + transportation as well for most sellers
