Zedder's 67 RS/SS Camaro 350 on BaT

[Zedder]

Thanks BJ.

Tim, they asked me when I set the ad up.

While the sale is going on YOU can lower it. In addition, if the final Bid is within the agreed-upon reserve BAT will make up the difference.

[Zedder]

Yes, there is a button for lowering your reserve after the auction starts. They initially wanted me to set the reserve at $50k, but I already had an offer higher than that before contacting BAT, so I said that $58k was the lowest I would go and they immediately said ok.

The process was pretty straight forward. The only negative for me was that I provided them with a well written detailed ad and they refused to use it. They said I could add anything that I wanted in the comments after the auction started. They even refused to change the word “refurbished” to “restored”. Seriously, who calls a car ‘refurbished”?

Think the Brits use "refurbished".Never heard it used in here!

[Zedder]

I’ve spoken to the high bidder a couple of times this weekend. Nice guy from El Paso. He’s working on the payment and shipping details.

How you holding out Mark?As a lot of us know it can be stressful selling a collector car.

[Zedder]

Doing ok BJ, although I much prefer buying to selling! I guess I’m a little anxious about him not getting financing, but I do like the car a lot, so it won’t be the end of the world if it falls through. I think I expected someone to close the deal like I would have with immediate payment (the next day at the latest), but he does seem sincere, so fingers crossed!

People finance old cars?

You would think the guy would have had his ducks in a row before he mashed the "bid" button.

[Zedder]

With interest rates low and investment returns high, I think some are choosing to finance rather than cashing out an investment. Apparently, a company called JJ Best finances old cars in the US. I don't know if anyone in Canada offers that though.

[Zedder]

Well, no word from the high bidder at all yesterday. I have a feeling that my car will be staying in Canada for now….
