Default First Time Selling on Bring a Trailer - Any Tips?

I'm selling a 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV that's had a rotisserie restoration. I bought it as a running and driving project when I was stationed in Italy in 2015 and the restoration is finally done.

I did a lot of the work myself, but I have waaayyyy too much invested, so I'd like to cut my losses as much as possible. From what I can tell, BAT is my best bet, but I've always sold my cars on eBay, so I'd appreciate any tips that anyone can provide on selling on BAT.

I have signed up with BAT already; photos scheduled for tomorrow evening.

Thanks,

Scott

I find it valuable to be prepared with a pre-written write up of the car when the auction goes live. BAT only allows the basic introductory information to be inputted. Best thing you can do as a seller on bat is be highly communicative. You will get a lot of people who comment and don’t actually bid that’s part of what makes BAT “interesting”. Once in a while, you get a heckler for whatever reason who just makes a bunch of noise, so definitely have to have thick skin. If you have any questions that come up or requests for additional pictures, be prompt with your responses and be absolutely transparent. Good luck. .

Its a beauty. I would say answer all questions promptly, thoroughly, and don't get angry at the posters...

----If there's one thing I don't particularly care for about BaT, it's that the descriptions don't allow for superlatives. They don't seem to want you to say anything positive in their descriptions. 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
