Up For Auction / Re: BaT Auction - 1967 GT500 #2859
« on: May 04, 2020, 12:12:40 PM »
I too sold a high dollar car on BAT and got nothing from the buyer. So they reposted it for free after I took new picts, videos, etc. then it was bid to 10% less and all the comments pointed to something was wrong and that’s why the seller didn’t buy it. Then it’s always online with 2 no sales and all the internet detectives are hard at work. It was difficult to sell as the first thing that comes up
When you google the vin is BAT. Go figure

That's a legitimate gripe right there!  I know I'm suspicious of relisted cars, but I also know that buyers like to play games at the expense of the seller.  I sold one car on BaT and when the buyer won the auction, he started discussions on how to arrange an inspection to see if he wants to buy the car.  As if he thought he won the right of first refusal with his winning bid!  I got BaT involved right away and we put pressure on the buyer to complete the transaction on the car and got it done.  I was worried there for a while.  I think I escaped a bad outcome.

BaT should not be allowed to keep their collected bidders fees on transactions that aren't completed.  This should go (in part) to the seller and BaT should be doing a better job of protecting sellers and not just their own interests.  I still think it's a great place to sell and buy cars, though.  Especially now during COVID.  They are going to take a HUGE chunk from the big guys and the big guys are going to lose a lot of clients to BaT for the long haul after this all clears up.

It's 2345....

The color on those scans is way off.  #2345 can still be seen in it's last raced glory at the Boulder Museum.  Fantastic car!

I know things change, but I wonder why a "dream car" is now for sale.


I can think of many good and legitimate reasons.

I'm interested.  Not sure yet on solid plans.  I'd be driving from MPLS in the Hertz car.

Roddster, are you driving your Shelby or trailering?

Great looking car.  I like it in both Day 1 restored status and in that awesome period race trim.

Up For Auction / Re: 2020 BJ Highest Grossing Auction Ever
« on: January 24, 2020, 10:38:51 AM »
The market prices continue to rise, and the circus act of auction week continues to impress. The something for everyone is the main draw in my opinion, the bigger auctions are where most of the action takes place but the smaller venues still have some respectable cars. My friends commented on some of the smaller auctions like are we shopping in our local grocery store parking lot? In the surrounding Scottsdale parking lots you will find many of the same vehicles that come up for auction. I hate to say it but it is becoming a whats your budget to go shopping venue. You can start out with an original 10k budget and you will find a venue for those cars, and incrementally go up and find your car in your price range. You used to find a smathering of all kinds of cars at all the different venues but not so much anymore, this just might push out the smaller auctions.

I read this a couple times, and can't quite understand what you are trying to convey.  I'm interested in your thoughts and was hoping you could clarify.  Are you saying that the auction venues are lacking variety or the opposite?

SAAC-45 / Re: Popular Ballot Car SHow for SAAC-45
« on: January 13, 2020, 10:54:05 AM »
Yes, the method used had a safety built in. Each entrant had his voting tickets numbered with that same number as his entry number. When counting, we eliminated all duplicate numbered tickets in any envelope by throwing out all duplicates. A little more work in preparing materials and organizing, but the payoff worked.

If I recall, we did not have much "stuffing" this year. And the results seemed to come out fairly well on their own.

Thanks Dan, that makes sense!

[/quote]FYI one of the BJ Ford car scrutineers for the auction company regularly visits this forum . I imagine anything about BJ gets his attention. ;)

What exactly does a BJ Ford car scrutinizer for the auction company do and who does he work for?

Thanks for all the work you have done over the years Dan.  It's much appreciated.  I wasn't there last year.  However, I attend all sorts of local shows as both a spectator and entrant.  I've seen things that boggle the mind that owners do in an attempt to manipulate voting results so they can get a lousy trophy.  I've seen this at our own SAAC convention as well...people trading tickets with each other without even seeing the cars....Would anything prevent a trophy hunter from simply putting all 25 of his top 25 tickets into his own envelope?

I read the ad copy to likely mean the title says "exempt" where the mileage is usually indicated.  This is the case for all title transfers in MN when the vehicles are over 20 years old.

The Lounge / Re: Fords new EV crossover Mustang Mach E
« on: November 18, 2019, 05:13:46 PM »
Ford is calling this a Mustang, because they know we will hate them using this name and blow up the internet with this new car of theirs.  Easy, free publicity.  Now everybody knows Ford is building an electric car to compete with Tesla.  That would not happen by calling it a Freestar.
