I am interested in how You feel the listing process went. I am considering listing a slightly modded Subaru there but They will accept Me only as a no reserve auction. It has a new motor so I am worried about taking a bath.

In your case I'd be scared too. I'd insist on some kind of reserve, because, my contract with them basically says when I approve the listing and it goes live, it's game over I can't reverse unless I want to deal with legal. Can't stop the listing, can't pull the listing, can't change your mind... I haggled with them on the reserve their initial suggestion was far too low, we met somewhere in the middle. If my auction only makes reserve I'll be disappointed but we just could not agree on my higher one. So I'm rolling the dice too. I'm hoping I'm happy with the real market price. That's what this is, real market pricing - AS LONG AS enough eyes get on the add.
I wonder whey they won't let you set a reserve? Not even a token one so you know you at least get $5k, $10k, whatever? I'd be scared too. Free market works only if people want a Subaru the week your auction lists and enough people see it. That was my fear. I know I'll get a great price but what if everyone is on vacation this week that is hunting for Wagons?

Hopefully I will do OK , it's an Outback Turbo with a manual trans which should generate some interest. The new motor is around 280 hp at the wheels and only has 5k on it.

I noticed in one of the videos that the driver's side box wasn't connected to the intake inlet. Not a huge deal, but may as well connect it.
I agree with the commenter that a video of it driving would be useful so people can hear the sound of the exhaust changes, etc.
Importing cars is a bit of a pain, so some of the U.S. market that would otherwise be there likely doesn't want the hassle.

Man the auction really stalled out - is it normal to have a flurry of activity at the end? I'm on pins and needles feeling like it was a flop.

So, it's stress time for you right now. But, in the position you are in, no more bids=RNM, so it's ok. If you get a bid that JUST clears the reserve and that's your last bid... might be a little tougher to swallow..

Wow - that was a lot lower than I was expecting - even with the "Canada factor."
I was expecting reserve of $45k and bids to at least $40k, most likely hitting $50k.
Disappointing. Best of luck with whatever other methods of sale you have going on...

Canada factor + miles + mods kill it? Recent auctions for 2014's are in the 50's LOL and this is a 2016.
OH well. Signs are pointing to BB turbos and a tranny kit I guess.
Time to buy a lift if high bidder doesn't ante up to reserve.
Or I'll just relist it again. Maybe a bad summer week?
Weird.
