Wow, unless you were desperate to sell a car at this time was just crazy - buyer scored !

No, someone paid market price. It took 2 people to dictate the price. The price was what 2 people were willing to pay for it. Last year I bid up to 80K for my old 67 GT350, someone got it for 82K, that was market value. I did not want it for any more that what I bid up to.

Ignoring the current nonsense going on in the country (the number of people out of work, cities burning, stock market slump and slow rebound etc) made for a bad time for the seller and a good time for the buyer.  sour grapes and a sad life shouldn't stop congrats on a good purchase/deal..

Seemed like a great deal to me.

Probably around $20,000 not paid to a big auction house for one thing. ::)

From the BAT website


Seller

. The best place to sell a collector vehicle, period. $99 to list, no other fees for the seller, and a custom auction for your vehicle on our site.


Buyer

How much is the buyer's fee? If you win an auction we charge 5% of the final bid price on top of the winning bid, with a minimum fee of $250 up to $5,000 (5% of a $100,000 bid). The fee for sales higher than $100,000 is capped at $5,000.

And isn't there still a Buyer's premium paid on Bring a Trailer?

We think it really did well, here are some values from early this year. With everything that's going on we truly think these early values have tanked possibly 20-30%. But remember all that goes down will eventually go up...

Hello friend,

What car did they sell?

Was it a 65/66?

No, this was/is a 69 GT350 and those where the prices earlier this year for a 69 GT350, when the situation was normalized or as close to it.

The 65/66/67 are in a class of their own.
