From the quick glance it appears you may not have to beg them to list your car like BAT.

B.A.T. and Mecum Auctions are the last two places I'd ever got to buy a car. They're for people with way too much money, and not a lot of car sense, IMHO.

Is this just going to become a third on the list?

Cheers,

I looked at the FAQ in BAT. It appears the winning bidder is simply paying BAT for an introduction to the seller.
I guess the seller is also paying BAT for the auction process?
There is a lot that could go wrong after the auction.
There is no escrow. They recommend wire transfers.

This was bound to happen.. BaT has been quite the vintage car market disruptor..

I've listed twice on BaT and have only good things to say; I achieved good results and was able to get my niche vehicles in front of LOTS of eyeballs. The guy that bought my 1972 Honda N600 is now a friend! I'll see him this Sunday morning at a SoCal C&C

This new site looks pretty slick- I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big, 'traditional' auction houses is behind it. Very clever and very aggressive that they're starting out with no fee to list, AND a $500 listing bonus at end of auction. They're not playing when it comes to skimming from BaT.. One to watch and see where it goes

BAT is getting quite the bad name in the vintage scooter community.

They have had several scooters up lately that are what the community calls vietbodges. Scooters made from parts of several other scooters of numerous models and various years.

Some vietbodges are made by welding together several rotted out scooters together. A thick coat of bondo and shiny 2 tone paint; adorned with every cheap chrome accessory they can fit; 2 tone seats; and the yellow kickstand boots that are an instant clue. The engine sometimes uses pepsi cans for shimming cylinders. Factory correct fasteners are just a suggestion

Great for a static display in an Italian restaurant, but they can be a literal death trap. One guys' front end disintegrated while riding it at speed.

BAT keeps the ads up when issues are pointed out, by just stating with standard legalese that they aren't liable .
