Default Well thanks a whole hell of a lot BaT.........

for posting a nearly identical motorcycle to my X-90 in the last 3 hours of my auction..........you could have put that other auction live nearly any time, and this you thought was the best timing! Rarity was its main attraction, I had the only one on the site.



I've received 1 bid since that auction went live, in what should be the busiest time for my own.

You DO understand its an auction ? Right ? You want extra privileges that's whey Mecum offers 'Star Cars' and charges premiums for the best slots...

I can understand your frustration because Ive felt that before on my no reserve auctions. You had three people duking it out in the last minutes. That's pretty good, as is 28 bids. I track BaT Corvette listings on a weekly basis and 28 bids would be well above average if it were a Vette.

My bet is they also talked you into having a no reserve auction as I've heard that sentiment before.

Also meant to compliment you on the listing, the pictures were great as were the videos, and then the humor you added. You couldn't have put a better foot forward or had a larger audience, the market spoke.

Probably has nothing to do with BaT per se. More like the other seller saw there was some interest in yours and he happened to have one to sell too, so he thought he would list it.

Your listing was nicely done, btw, and appears to have finished at a nice price too.

Overall I was happy......I had it listed on FB for $4999, so just about exactly what I thought.......would have liked to have seen it go crazy like the $12.5k anomaly that sold in 2022 I think, but oh well.......just didn't like the timing thingy......that's why I chose to be cordial.......thanks for the compliments.....the guy wants the trophy.......

Did it sell for $5k?

How much do you have to pay to BaT?


~2020-2022 the market was upside down due to the pLandemic
Only reason my problematic C6 (needed the engine bearing replaced) sold for $25k

$5,250

I was gonna mention the freak pricing phenomenon on toys during the pandemic.

From what I've heard, sellers pay all their fees on the front end. No split sales commission like Barrett Jackson or Mecum.

$5250....BaT charges a $99 listing fee to the seller, and a 5% commission fee paid by the buyer

As mentioned, the auction for the "other one" if I am getting that right, runs for 7 more days.

I think 5 grand for the little Harley is a pretty damn good number.
