Bat

I've only sold one car on BaT, but am a frequent commenter. I understand setting the reserve is the most difficult part. BaT makes their commission when they sell your car. If it doesn't sell, no commission. So it's in their interest to set a low reserve to make sure there is a sale. If you can't accept their reserve and are not a gambler, just walk away. Their copywriters are formulaic and often wrong and are constrained by legal. Be prepared to fight with them over what they screw up. Have your own description of the car prepared and be ready to be one of the first commenters to post your description to get what the car is all about across. Then you need to stay engaged for the full auction to address any issues that come up. Overall, be honest. Those that know the cars will spot any misrepresentation and won't hesitate to call it out. I think it's a good way to sell a car quickly at a relatively low cost. You should also know that just because someone is a high-bidder doesn't mean they will buy your car. BaT won't take any action against them if the deal goes south.
