    nothing could be MORE stupid than a NO RESERVE auction in an environment that has problem of too few bidders. I love FerrariChat all the Type A personalities that think they're geniuses every little thing, especially when it comes to FerrariChat. gotta love this community! :D

    I welcome feedback and I realize we haven't or aren't doing everything perfect yet, but doing a No Reserve auction at this point when cars aren't even hitting wholesale numbers is STUPID! or better yet what seller is STUPID enough to do that. I will put the offer out there, if anyone wants to do a No Reserve auction starting at $10,000 I'm game. Why don't you step up?

    Exactly, why would a seller want to list anything on your site, you won't ever hit whole sale numbers without viewers. Thats your job, to convince a seller that with no reserve your car would get the eyeballs and bids it needs.

    IT- That makes no sense at all. Same as your response to someone asking for a site url for a 550.

    I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'll bet you (tazandjan) or anyone else $10k that none of these cars meet reserve or get winning bids for the next 6 weeks. Do you have the cojones ?

    As for me giving out sources for well priced cars, what do I benefit from that? Do your own homework. Or did you cheat your way through school too?

    How is it the forum's (or forum Administrator's) job to tell sellers how to price their vehicles? That's up to the potential crop of buyers as a whole to determine what any given vehicle is worth.

    Out of curiosity, why the offensive, aggressive attitude toward long term contributors here? What do you think this will gain you except banned? Chill dude, unnecessary conflict goes seriously underappreciated on this board.

    seems to me that successful auction houses are more than just an auction. they are "events" think BJ.

    that's what BaT brings.....

    You're criticizing Yellow Compass and the DB9 adversier right now but you're not being banned because it's allowed here. You got banned because you persisted, after being warned, in treating the ad section like the discussion section. The two sections have different rules, and the ad section rules apply whether the advertiser is a sponsor or an individual. Advertisers paid for an ad and they should be allowed to conduct their sale without being harassed about whether their pricing is reasonable or unreasonable. Discussion section is different. If you don't like a price, start a thread in the appropriate sub-forum and have at it.

    I think FerrariChat can do that too, we're a community of many things, part of which can be a fun auction environment. I think some of the feedback I had problems with was too focused on just doing auctions and not considering the entire community.

    I don't think it would be very easy to find a seller willing to put there car for sale on a brand new auction with an uncertain amount of bidders with no reserve.

    Do you?

    If so, great. Let me tell you about my auction service. Please list your car with me at no reserve. It will probably be fine. Interested?

    It would be HUGE success if we can get a winning bid in next 3-6 months. It took 3-4 years before sponsors recognized the value of advertising on FerrariChat and longer than that for FerrariChat to become some of the best Ferrari classifieds. Auctions haven't been our business at all, most forums don't do auctions, and many new online auction sites like SD have struggled to get off ground even with great systems. I think our competitive advantage is we already have critical mass of Ferrari buyers and sellers, but we may not be able to make the leap beyond that community just using FerrariChat for discussions and classifieds.

    what about running the auctions in the corresponding model forums ? (you could link them also thru the auctions tab) with a sticky thread that would resemble a for sale post. people bids would show up as a posts. we could see who is bidding and have a discussion on the car, etc.

    The BB just hit wholesale territory! That's great news as the first two auctions didn't. Guess we just need to be patient, not expecting an overnight success.

    Chill, everyone. This is obviously one of those AI bots that take on the characteristics of the people interacting with it. It must have been on an impolite and solipsistic forum before. Let's be nice to it and watch it become courteous and well-mannered, and a beneficial and valued addition to this community.

    LOL he's more likely just what his screen name says he is. He comes on and tells us he has all these cars he's looking at below market value yet wont share any of them bc he's hoarding them for himself even though he hasn't bought or shown any pictures of anything he has. Next he will say how he is so much richer than us and doesn't need to prove it and rant on and on. The reality is 550 asking prices are pretty high, doesn't seem like many are moving. There is one at black horse in naples at $169k....and its been there for 2 years...no joke 2 years...I called in 2 years ago and made an offer was rejected and 2 years later the car is still there at the same price. So yes owners of such machines have tons of money and do not have to give in to get theirs sold, but at the same time the "market" price varies based on color and condition. 2 575 cars just went in the mid 80s on BAT, they were both silver/gray. The red 575 on BAT now is up to $110k with a few hours to go. So in reality, the market is what we thought it was, Ferrari buyers are picky and want good cars and colors they desire. Gray/Silver cars are gorgeous, but the market is speaking and red ones are in higher demand, at least on BAT they are. If there are sub $100k 550's running around they're probably in need of another $20-30k in work. A simple major + clutch + water pump + tires could get you close alone.

    Hey guys not a bot, nor an owner of a 550 (yet). I just found a red one for $60k no stories. Maybe I'll grab it and sell it and wait for a green one. I hate red Ferrari's with a passion.

    The only way a no story 550 is asking $60k is if it has 100k miles, maybe not even then. Can you just go away already? You keep posting nonsense about cars that dont exist. You're a new poster but everything you post is just nonsense.

    It has 33,000 miles on it, Rosso corsa and some horrible 20" rims. Like I said it doesn't benefit me to disclose my sources. but if you have any money to put up we can make an open bet on this forum and I'll provide the sources, links and all. How about $5k?
