Thanks Husker. Good article.

Can't speak to BAT but I don't think our cars are their market anymore unless there is something unique.

I sold my 981CS on C&B about a year ago. They certainly push to have a low reserve, obviously. With 2 minutes remaining in the auction, bid price was sitting at my reserve and I was freaking out!! But then the real bidders started and it ticked up to the price I wanted.

So if you don't mind having a heart attack followed by a feeling of elation I'd recommend C&B.

I agree, the Land Rover I had was very very unique and one of the lower mileage ones you’d be able to find and was mint. 986’s unless it’s a super rare build or crazy low mileage you may not be able to get what you’d want, also if you have a heart condition chew some Advil during the last hour of the auction my car was bid from 6k to 11k for the first like 5 days then the last 15 minutes it went from 11 to 30k I damn near died. I just cannot stress enough what quality photos will do it’s a make or break. They even provide a pro picture service good pictures can easily make a 10k Boxster sell for 13-15k
