x2.
And sometimes sarcasm. I was pointing out that the engine in one of the 69 Zs could not be original to the car. One guy really took offense. Posted something like "Look, Camarolynn read a book about Camaros."
Lots of guys with no clue. Incredible amount of misinformation.
One guy seems to chime in on EVERY car I have ever looked at.

Atrocious descriptions apparently generated by some crappy AI filling out a crappy mad-lib template, combined with commentary dominated by a cesspool of 'social media'-bred morons.
What more could you ask for?

I just bought a Porsche on bring a trailer. Everything the guy said about it was a lie. But there's nothing I can do because I bought it. I can't leave any feedback, can't let anybody know this guy is a scammer, all I can do is throw money at it to make it right. That's bullshit.

I’ve heard all communication with BAT is on line. No phone discussions with them. Is this true?

You can send a contact the seller message and give them your phone number and talk to them. You can even go look at the car.
I sold my 1958 Scarab Replica on Bring A Trailer and it was a great experience. I was happy with the price and the buyer was happy with the car. I recently bought a car on Bring a Trailer and "fortunatly" I was happy with the purchase. That being said, I can see how it could be a disaster, too.

It sure is addictive,the ultimate car porn site,lol!!
I’ve sold a couple on there. Both good experiences. One guy flew in to look on the final day of the sale then stayed at a nearby coffee shop and bid from his phone. When he got past his limit and was out, he really gave a nice testimonial about what he saw in person and might have helped instill confidence.

I am always amazed by the money some cars bring on there with that format.

^^^^^this may be the most honest statement I'll see on the internet today:scholar:
I love looking at the vintage go-karts on BAT.
One of the few things on there you don't need a trailer for Charley.
This was my experience on BaT. It was a lot of work but studying how other sellers got crucified I tried to beat all the critics to the punch, stay engaged and roll out additional info thru out the listing period to keep it fresh and interesting. Ended up setting a record price for steel body carb GTBs so I was happy overall, and the exposure can't be beat for the listing price.

Super BadAss!! Appears like KT100 engines? Fast cart for sure.
It reminds me of my Go Kart from the 60's. I'd tear up the neighborhood with this beast.

How is BAT these days, aside from the go-cart market that appears to be functioning well?
I'm putting my Camaro up for sale and I think I'll use BAT but wasn't sure how it was these days.
Wow, that is an impressive Camaro.

BAT website is a good idea, it really is.
But to whoever is running it is not in touch with what is actually happening. Moderation there of comments is Stalin tier silenced. Nobody can have a negative thing to say or negative experience or negative observation because it will automatically be deleted. Yeah one of the main things about being a good person is being open and honest but I don't see anything on this website except them raking in their fees and not giving a shit about integrity. But you can't say it on there because they will delete it.
Their go to reply is "we just go by what the sellers say" so if they lie you're fucked.

Check out the auction for the turbocharged 383 '35 Ford pickup that ended yesterday.It was a no reserve auction.Looks like the seller was caught driving up the bids,under another name,and then refused to sell to the legit top bidder cause his bid wasn't high enough!A real s**t show and doesn't look like BAT is gonna do much.And the seller's been accused of doing the same before!!

Well, that's one way to get a "reserve" when bat won't allow the seller to.
