    This is not for FerrariChat, but another project I'm heavily involved with. We're looking for 2-3 cars that would like to auction their cars online in the next few weeks. The company behind this is a major respected name in the auction world!

    What you get!
    • free listing
    • no sale fees
    • $1,000 proceeds bonus if sells
    • free professional photos
    • there is a huge marketing push, so wide exposure
    Requirements
    • any collectible car, any make
    • something up in the 6-digits range
    • spotless history clear title and Carfax
    • not listed elsewhere, we will get it photographed ASAP and can list it in July
    Why are we making this deal? It is a soft preview launch, there are already several premium cars signed up.

    Let me know if any questions offline. Thanks!

    Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but I purchased a 65 Shelby mustang clone last February. Although I like the car, I’m realizing I’m not a muscle car kind of guy. It’s a very good clone with they built up 289, side pipes and full interior redo, etc. It’s white with blue stripes. Would imagine it would do well.

    amazing car, just because of the auction house behind this and first impressions, we're going for original non-stories. I think after things get going officially, then it will be somewhat more flexible.

    I have a sub 25K mile 1996 BMW M3 Coupe in Blue/Grey Cloth with meticulous ownership. I know that's not $xxx,xxx but, just a thought. Time capsule car, NOT listed somewhere and purchased from the original owner. I'll keep the details to that outside of a PM.

    Maybe. Considering selling my 1988 328 GTS. Nero Metallico/Crema. 37,000 miles. Was just looking at BAT when I saw this.

    Doesn’t this all strike others as an odd proposal? Why is the auction house a secret anyway? Ha

    it isn't secret secret, we'll of course share all the info with sellers. we just don't want to blast the name out until ready for the soft launch. it is only a few weeks away and then everyone will know and can visit the site.

    I'm guessing a new competitor for BaT.

    Lots of BAT wanna bees emerging now, about darn time IMO.

    Good luck & fig out a way to secure funds from bidders so they cannot skip out on sellers after the auction would ya!?

    our competitive advantage is taking the best from both live and online auctions. securing funds, validating sellers and buyers, inspections, and handling title are some of the things current online auctions like BAT don’t do.

    So you want to dealer work / title work…make painless for some buyer sellers…..charge some fees in process.
    Good luck.
    Bat is making all the money it’s time for some more to the game.

    Very exciting to hear, it blows my mind how much BaT is making while providing no value other than eyeballs

    Me too, but obviously they came up with a formula that works and now countless others are trying or have tried to copy that or create something similar in their wake (and how many have failed ?)
    OTOH, I never understood the appeal or popularity of antique/classic/exotic/specialty vehicle auctions, especially online and even less if/when consignors complain about the outcome, but apparently there’s enough willing participants to keep the music playing.

    P.S. Since this listing was posted in “Classifieds - Ferraris”, which I assume was to seek out Ferraris to be auctioned, why are so many offering “Other” makes and models ?

    The short notice and odd secret seems weird… who will throw a car out there with no details?‍♂️
