$6,800.

too soon?

Ouch. I would be happy with that though.

[Jdesign]

I already guessed $7800, so I guess I have to stick to that.

i really have no idea what the car is worth, just taking the low bid for the game.

In the description it mentions new spacers on the wheels. Can you explain that? If they are the correct wheels they shouldn’t require spacers

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?  Sherlock Williamsburg has got it all figured out that your trying to pull a fast one.

It must be hard to not call these people idiots since you are trying to sell the car and all.

I'll come in at $7000 (though I think straight6pwr has probably nailed it at $6800)

You've already done better than two prior sales at BaT, and since yours is higher mileage the one that sold for $14k is out. As for the ones that didn't sell: two reserve not met cars were $3100 (137k, but yours is cleaner), and $7200 (129k)

I would agree with this too

[Jdesign]

Dang. 5 mins left and still at 6300.

[straight6pwr]

Just one last bid to 6400 at the last second, was hoping to see more action!

Same. Oh well.

yep, thought it would break $7,000 for sure.

Nice job though, you did well on it

Yeah either way, I still came out on top and now have more room in the shop. I find it hilarious that the winners name is Yikes. How fitting is that.

Surprising. Looking at the bidders, the winner had no track record of any other bids at BaT. None of the other folks had been solely BMW focused or bid on earlier auctions of the same/similar cars. So much for the science of it all.

Congrats on the sale!

Agree, I noticed that as well. Thanks!

the only science of BAT is that BAT wins, regardless if the buyer/seller are happy. they've figured out how to rig the system.  all i hear is negative stories about sales that fall through, forced "no reserve" auctions that end unexpectedly low, and obviously way over-the-top nit picker commenters that never even bid. its like they assume everything is a lie and your hiding secrets and a unseeable spot of rust is the end of the world.  but, people keep going back, so what do i know *shrug*
