Sold on BaT a month ago for $6250, I guess the buyer backed out.  Sounds like BaT is turning into another ebay.

And now he wants $8000? seems like a stretch lol.

 

As a buyer on BaT your credit card immediately at the close of the auction gets charged the buyers commission of 5% of the sale.  So the only reason not to go through with it is when you get there to pick the car up it's not as described and it would be better to take the loss on the commission and walk away.  So $312 for that auction.  If the car was crusty I would say forget 300$.

There is another V70 R for sale along side mine, the guy didn't even vacuum it out good and his response to questions about mechanical problems is "my mechanic didn't say I should do that".  People like that are unrealistic and just trying to jump on the bandwagon.  It has to be a nice car with good information to bring top dollar.  And then actually be the car that was represented.  After the auction it is totally between the seller/buyer to complete the sale, the money doesn't go through BaT.

Weird. It looks like a dealer bought it, or was the winning bidder. I would assume the seller is the one that backed out thinking it was worth more than what the final bid was considering hes asking more now?

Any sense of what it went for?

I am also curious. Sometimes if you google the vin you can find out.

This is also possible.  Such is the game of listing no reserve.  The complaints about BaT service I see online are almost all people saying they won't let me set my reserve as high as I want.  Meaning they are likely people that think their car is worth more than it is.

If you read the comments, there was a reserve and it was turned off or reached at a certain point.

At the time of me posting it the "Buy It Now" Price was $500

 

So either 500 or under

Clean looking 740i M sport, black/black but with higher mileage.

Auto e34 540i, nice color though. Looks to be nicely taken care of.

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/pts/d/saint-paul-e34-540ia-part-out/6803015232.html

If this wasn't so far away, I'd go grab the memory seats, taillights and spoiler/trunklid.  I can also spy what looks to be some style 5's and tan sport seats off to the side in a few of the pics, wonder what's up with those.

That red one seems very nice. Would be great with a 6spd.

dude could make more money if he just left the bronco where it is and rented it out as a zombie movie set.

That guy used to be my neighbor, he's got a Isetta project too. Didn't know that truck was his but I've seen that sitting around for quite a few years.

This dude must have had an obscene amount of projects and got bitched at by his wife or is trying to sell everything to buy something else.

Wouldn't be browsing Milwaukee or Chicago CList without seeing that house/driveway at least once.
