[DeTomaso] BAT

[Dave Londry]

Seconding Mikes opinion, Larry
BAT  actually manages the sale process.
Completely different from eBay where you throw your stuff in - over the 
wall,
and you only hear from them if you manage to piss off their automated 
nanny programs.
Many high-roller dealers move their excess trade-in inventory on BAT.

You wrote the ad copy and they edit it, and build the auction for you. You get to check the draft and give final approval before it goes live. They also work with you to establish a realistic reserve. If you think your reserve should be objectively too high they will refuse it. In my case their analysis was spot on.

BaT received nothing from this because the sale happened outside their auction, even though they facilitated the sale.
