Anyone with Bring A Trailer experience?

Pass. Wrong color.

and I can't find a broom stick to depress the clutch pedal while it's off and parked. Blow off panel looks to be in place.

But it's pretty damn nice and a true Alfa: "The tachometer is inoperative, the clock works intermittently, and the speedometer is said to display slower-than-actual speed."

 

I've bought 1 car on BAT... Was really happy with the process, got a 88 porsche 924 special edition for my dad to replace his 78 that I didn't treat so well when he gave it to me back in the day. Really happy with the site. I agree, put one up there and see how it goes. Cars do better than bikes though

 

you mean iconicmotorbikeauctions.com? Very much like RSBFS; small compared to BAT for sure.

I lurk on BAT daily and have for a few years now. I would say definitely invest in professional photography session (the few hundred $ will pay for itself) and stay engaged with the bidders with cool stories and questions. People want to buy the story.

 

That looks great. I wish I were in position to potentially talk you out of that thing. Good luck.

 

pics?

 

I sure wish I hadn't opened this thread.... new places to seed pipedreams and consume time - thanks!

 

I think, Iconic have a better audience for that bike than BAT. And, Adam is a good dude.

It's a beaut! There's something quirky and cool to me about the 924.. Totally understand how most think its an abomination, but I like them.

 

they are great driving machines.

you have a great example that would probably only be topped by a good 924 turbo or carerra gt. congrats!

 

That's a nice story and so cool you could do that for your dad.

 

BaT is throwing shade on me, so I put an ad on FB about an hour ago. Word gets around fast and the bike's original owner phoned me to buy it. I'm probably selling it too cheap, but I'm OK with it.

 

BAT just had a 1,600 mile RC30 auction go live, it'll be interesting to see how it does. I suspect it'll do well.

 

My aunt had the first 924 in Kentucky in 1976. Of course the 16 year old me thought it was the coolest car ever made and when she let me have it on occasion I was the coolest mofo in town. Well, until I backed it into another car at about 10 miles an hour and got to pay for the damage. Let me tell you, a $50 rear brake lens might as well been $1000 to me back then

 

Wow! I'm guessing 40K. That's nosebleed for a RC30, but that thing is nice.

 

The RS250R and T500 were both accepted, so I'm going to proceed as sort of an experiment. I'm happy with reserve on both. We'll see how it goes.

They were way off on demanding the 10K reserve on the Bostrom, so I would agree that its def more of a car site. But they do have a great audience of collector buyers.

If you can believe it...

 

Apparently they’re expecting a buyer who is intimately familiar with the finest products of humboldt county...

 

A little over a year ago one of the auction houses sold one for ~100k. Allegedly it had never been started. Had just a few miles on it from being pushed around
