Yeah, there's a guy in FL who breaks every rule in my Wheeler Dealer book yet he still sells his Porsches on BAT for good money. He sells very high mileage Porsches, many times with accident damage. Sure, he's not bagging top, top dollar, but he is getting good numbers. I'm sure he was able to buy those cars for a song. If I had a high mileage Porsche with accident damage, I wouldn't even get a phone call. I SMH and admire his stones (most of his auctions are no reserve), but he has a cult following and always seems to get good money for what he has for sale. I have no plans to dip my toe into his niche. Too risky for me.
