38-46s on BaT

Near Seattle. Woodgrain looks a little off, and some other piddling stuff, but someone will get a nice car.

Excellently represented!!! Question, is there a way to tell if there’s a reserve on vehicles in BaT?

[Arland]

Under the 'How it Works' button they explain how they set up a reserve with the owner. The difference is that BaT doesn't indicate when a reserve is met so the bidding continues until the auction expires.

I wonder if that's good or bad? Seems like you might bid higher if you know the reserve is met as you will own it,  as when the reserve hasn't been met,  you usually throw a more casual approach figuring you aren't going to win it because it won't meet reserve.  I know when I tried selling my Vette with a 60 G reserve,  it never made it to 50G yet when I dropped the reserve because it got damaged by an engine fire, the bidders seemed rabid once they hit the reserve of 30G Ironically running it up to the 60G mark that it couldn't receive in excellent running condition, before the 30 thousand dollars in damage it received.

It's not disclosed when the reserve is met, unless the seller decides to do it. If the reserve is not met, I'm pretty sure the high bidder and the seller have the opportunity to try and make a deal.

I see I didn't actually answer your question. If there is no reserve, it says so in the title. Otherwise, all auctions have reserves.

Sold yesterday for $28,501. Good deal for buyer and seller.

You definitely couldn't have bought a good project for less than 7 or 8 G and done it to this lever for what they sold it for. You would probably have twice that in it.
