Does anyone have any experience selling a car via auction? Specifically, I am thinking about selling my six again and Gooding & Co could take it in their Scottsdale auction in January.
I advertised my car many months ago for $95k, and had lots of interest and someone bid it to $85k on eBay, but a deal was very made. I haven't been in a big hurry since I still really like the car. Gooding charges $1000 to place it in the auction, plus they take 8%-10% of the sale price. Plus the buyer pays a 12% premium. And they require no reserve for anything less than $250k. The rep I spoke with said the "expected price" in the catalog would be $80k-$100k. Hmmm... So... suppose it sells for $100k in auction, I take home $91k best case, and the buyer pays $112k. What's the best way to sell a six at the moment? BAT? eBay? Auction? 914world? Other? Thanks, Steve Attached thumbnail(s) |

First of all, your green 14-6 is just gorgeous. The color, the photos, the condition... all of it.
From my looking, BAT doesn't seem to be particularly supportive of the 'true' -6 market, but what are you to do? (Which I guess is your question!) I think it vets cars pretty well, but it's a job for the seller, or at least it was for me. However, I'm choosing to go that route with my recently-refreshed -6. They've approved the listing and we're in the last round of photo selection. Hope you guys can weigh in (supportively!) when it hits. If it doesn't pull well, am considering RM Sotheby's in Amelia Island this March to sell mine. Best to you, because your car is a knockout. |
