Getting ready to list ERA 575 427 SC

[frankym]

Thanks for the feedback, I asked the auction manager if they can enhance but it’s not something they will do with pictures that weren’t a part of their photography package. I’ve sold 2 other cars on BAT and my experience has been to pivot off of the comments to provide the right level of specificity. For example, someone asked me if the stripes are painted or vinyl. This gave me an opportunity to detail the stripes, eg the stripes are under the clear and fully sanded and polished to leave a glass smooth surface to the touch. Also, the stripes are tapered from 16 inches down to 13 inches. This type of conversation reveals details I never even thought to highlight. People also love videos and while many sellers put a lot of effort into the photos, most leave a lot of the driving experience out of focus. I’m no expert here but when I compare my listing to the csx I just bought, the seller tried selling on BAT and he had almost no interaction with the community. I also bring up the silver ERA from 2020 that sold for $113k, there were 5 other bidders that were bidding up to the last minutes of the auction, and this was the readon I jumped in with mine even though the winter is not usually the best time to sell but there are only like 4 ERAs on BAT per year so my timing might be best in terms of proximity to a top dollar ERA. I know people here were saying apples and oranges but I totally disagree. Both are stroked BB 427s, both silver, both widebodies (ok street vs S/C) and yes one is 20 years newer but I don’t think the 2020 build is any different than a 2000 build except for maybe the steering box and inboard rear brakes. But which is better? Answr, the one that is 60 years old 😂
