Nothing is 100 percent perfect. It's just all exactly what whatever the simplest description is. Making your self available while the car is running would be the important thing to me!....Bill S

Thanks for the input

When replying to someone on BAT asking you a Q,make sure you spell their name correctly in order to notify them that you're answering specifically to them.Otherwise they may never see your response and think you're avoiding their Q.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

Hold firm on your reserve, they requested I lower my reserve a few days before the end of the auction, and I held firm. My car ended up sailing way past the reserve on the final day, so it didn't matter.

I plan to sell it with no reserve.

Thanks

Make sure you're posting pics and or videos daily. This sends an auto email to all watchers saying more pics/videos are uploaded to the auction. Make sure you're engaging with all buyers and answering questions. Buyers get comfortable with forthright sellers. Also, if it doesn't sell there is a new option for buyers to make an offer if it doesn't hit your reserve. This is a new feature which was void from the previous service. Previously only the highest bidder got an email with the seller contact info. Only draw back is that the buyer will need to pay a BaT fee... Good luck though! Cool car.

Look up one of Tim's (NAPA68) recent listings on BaT and use that as a guide on how to be a great transparent no BS seller. People seem to appreciate and gravitate to the straight talker (IE: better and higher bids) and despise an absent seller.

Good luck - appears to be a great car that should do well.
