No affiliation...just posting here as an FYI. Should be an interesting one to watch.

Don't know if BaT has reserves or not but not the place to try to sell and SLS. Waste of the fee.

They do have reserves and it is not disclosed how much if it is not met. $49 - not the end of the world. Someone stole a viper today (at least IMO).

I'm surprised he got that much on this site. Wouldn't think this site gets much traffic.

I'd say the Buyer got quite a bargain ($162k + $5k buyer fee). The MSRP on that particular Gullwing was $217k - was only missing CF Engine Bay, CF mirror caps, and AMG performance suspension.

The Seller couldn't be bothered to clean the car or take decent pictures - which hurt - but the color combo was the bigger detriment to the final $.

I don't think that's particularly a "steal" for that car given the color combo and mileage. I would say not far from "fair" value considering how little action our cars see on major auction sites like Ebay. I was more surprised that this off the beaten path site would get a legitimate 6 figure bid. I don't know what kind of qualifying this site performs before allowing bids that high. I'm not sure I would comfortably sell a car on this site.

And ...I was wrong! (If buyer was legit..Ha). I had no idea about the $5000 buyers fee over $100k !!! Thanks for pointing out Sandy.

How much is the buyer’s fee if I win? If you win the auction we charge 5% of the final bid price, with a minimum fee of $250 up to $5,000 (5% of a $100,000 bid). The fee for sales higher than $100,000 is capped at $5,000.

So I guess it was a $167,000 SLS ...plus shipping...
