No, I think he snuck in under wire, posted 4/14 ,unless they got him for an update. unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im willing to bet 80% of the cars listed dont sell. Anyways, that guy started a site called "Backlash" using the BaT logo and seems a little dissappointed about the ordeal. https://bringatrailerbacklash.com/ 1 hour ago, m42b32 said: https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/wto/d/champaign-15-act-ronal-4x100-wheels-bmw/6867672553.html Not a bad deal on some e30 fitment Ronal LS's with tires Not a bad deal at all.

A high bidders credit card is charged for the buyers premium at the close of auction and is non refundable so it costs quite a bit of money to flake out. In the case of a high bidder going to look at a car and then bailing out the only reason I can see that would happen is if the car has problems and is not as described and it would be cheaper to lose the buyers premium and walk away. I will say that I was disappointed that they trimmed my description down and turned it into "BAT style" which caused a lot of information to be only in the comments and people may or may not scroll through all of the comments so there are tons of repeated questions about stuff that should have been in the description. My buyer showed up with cash, was pleased and drove away so I was happy. wally509 and Jdesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, there are ups and downs to the listings on there, and its unfortunate that BaT is a subpar host for its users, both buying and selling from what I have seen.

Yes, they know problems happen and they seem to ignore them. They should have a process after a failed sale to contact the next bidder because usually the second highest bid is not far behind. Or some process to refund the listing fee or relist for free. Although a relist sometimes doesn't do as well as the original. I also thought that it was not good that they listed another V70R when mine was halfway through, they say it takes a few days to go live so let the one finish and then list the other or list them side by side. Although it was a barely maintained one that needed work but "my mechanic says I don't need to do anything" so it was a nice contrast to mine, and mine ended first and sold for significantly more than it did even though it had 80k less miles.
