Another Dino on BAT

I've been thinking about selling my '73 GTS - it will be interesting to see how this one does on BAT. It may be a good venue.

 

its a great venue

 

BAT is great but a lot of the people on the auctions have little to no market knowledge and additionaly there are a lot of dealers on there who happen to
Be friends of the dealer trying to pump the prices because they are affiliated with the seller. I like the platform but I’m not sure it’s better than a regular auction site.

What I like about BAT vs a regular auction is that it gives a potential bidder time to make a decision and bid more wisely. The auctions are long enough that one can go see a car and potentially drive it. Knowledgeable enthusiasts can chime and in blog about the car to give a bidder some valuable knowledge.

 

We found a time machine and went back to 1980!

 

What’s interesting about this sells guy is that he just sold the 512TR for 141k, that car was at fantasy junction near SF for 185; didn’t sell. One of our members inquired about it and got cursed at& I got called a troll on there for calling their BS. Now I’m not the most diplomatic on BAT but I would recommend always a PPI when possible.

plus the 5k fee

368k

 

There is an error in the history of record. This will be corrected. Human error from back in the day when people didn’t track things like we do today.

Unless you're able to see the car being offered in person in advance of auction close, buying on BaT is like going on a blind date. You have no idea what kind of personalty she/he has or how high maintenance they are until you meet in person. I'm always surprised when I see people ponying up multiple $100k's for something they haven't had a chance to inspect in person or through a trusted friend. I've bid on several BaT cars and have always felt queasy when bidding passes the $100k mark.

 

Shawn - was this one of yours?

 

Are the Massini reports usually that short for Dinos? And, how much is such a report?

 

Nope.

Not my car, nor has ever been mine.

We obsess about info today, because it is so easy to verify.

Back in the day, when NO ONE GAVE A DARN, some obsessive people pumped everyone for every bit of detail. These amazing people kept records. The fact ANYONE CARED that much way back when is amazing. However, as much as recording was awesome for us today, there are errors that occurred.

This isn’t something weird, just a recording related to a Dino that isn’t the subject Dino.

I can’t speak for what Marcel does or charges for each vehicle.

What I can say is, Marcel is an AMAZING PERSON.

I am not paying/receiving anything from Marcel for that comment.

His memory and knowledge base is unlike anything I have ever seen, regardless of topic.

As for Dino’s, this isn’t what Marcel talks about, but he was one of the founding members of the first Dino clubs. In period.

Marcel is a Dino person.


His files are amazing, but Dino stuff falls into the more production stuff, just like anything made after the 60’s.

Error by BaT, owner(s) or Marcel ?

 

Hmm. Why were the responses to my questions so defensive?

My first question wasn't whether the "error" was Shawn's (or even about the "error"), but whether the particular Dino had been one of Shawn's - I asked because this Dino apparently was from Texas. I do not understand why the response to my first question morphed into the following:

"We obsess about info today, because it is so easy to verify.
Back in the day, when NO ONE GAVE A DARN, some obsessive people pumped everyone for every bit of detail. These amazing people kept records. The fact ANYONE CARED that much way back when is amazing...."

And then, when I simply asked about whether Masinni reports on Dinos are usually that short and how much they cost, I then got a response that suggests I was attacking Marcel's knowledge - "His memory and knowledge base is unlike anything I have ever seen, regardless of topic."

Now, if I had been a poster who challenged the legitimacy of BAT, or of Marcel Masinni, I could understand such responses.

To set the record straight - I asked two simple questions, and neither question challenged anyone's knowledge, competency, or sincerity, yet somehow it appears that I managed to offend Shawn.

If that is they way it was interpreted by some, oh well.

 

I believe the car brought $363,000... right?

 

Well, I was that poster, but not attempting to "challenge the legitimacy of BAT, or of Marcel..."
I merely asked, out of curiosity, a clarification for stated "error in the history", but...

But I think I'll be out of budget soon, bids are too high. Current bid for red is $25,000 USD and for white $36,000 USD

 

The red car . . . oh my.

 

It is a George Barris Kustom, don't tell anybody! Good Luck James!
