JSchmitz, you likely know the "value" of what you have but just in case, here is a another data point for you.

My youngest son was recently involved in a total loss collision with an UI driver that pulled in front of him at a green light. He lost his "restored" 1984 Bronco. I settled with the insurance company (he was on my insurance) for a tad over $24k. UMI limit was $25k.

It took some due diligence. I had to supply many sold examples over the last 5 years AND from many databases/websites/etc...., many receipts, pictures, ...

The value of the full size Broncos, Blazers and less so, the Ramchargers is high. Yours looks solid.

I am starting the process - sent in ad copy, they AI'ed it all to hell.


Not accepting it, there will be a fight.

I've had it for ten years. I think I know the value. They seem to be hot right now. We'll soon see. Thanks for the info. It has original paint. So people should know that what you see is what you get. Nothing hidden. I did replace the driver side rocker panel and door corner. Needs a passenger rocker. Comes with the purchase. Never got around to it. Patched a few spots on the floorboards. In very good shape considering the year IMHO. Not a Bondo'd POS.

Oh boy. Good luck!

I reluctantly paid for their photographer. That's scheduled for this Saturday morning. It took a little while to get acceptance. But ball is rolling fast now.

BAT actually has a good archive anyone can search for pending listings and prior sales. Five years back if I recall correctly.

[JSchmitz]

It's on now! I'm relatively pleased with the listing and pics. Didn't feel like attempting to improve it. Just rolling with it. Wish me luck!

Thanks! Feel free to pump it up! Lol!

[Torquewar]

Following this thread … I’m seriously thinking of listing something. . Friend recently had great results, but selling a Porsche is a little easier. Im also looking at hemmings…

[jamesq]

I saw the auction ended. How was the outcome and experience for you?

Thanks, James Q

[Scarebird]

yes, how did it go? mine goes up tomorrow.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I am curious too.
The price seemed about right due to some rust issues showing up.

Wondering how the money part goes , and the title work , if buyer sends a transport.

[JSchmitz]

Sorry, I forgot to follow up. I didn't get quite what I wanted. But I'm ok with it. My experience with BaT was good. They were very thorough and responsive. The secure checkout company, Caramel, was another story. Turned into a small nightmare. I didn't understand the process. So I was frustrated and made a mistake. They under communicated and were slow in responding to emails. I was trying to be proactive while waiting for information from them. So, my wife and I signed the title. Then, five days after the end of the auction, they send me an email saying don't sign the title. I emailed back saying that we had signed it. After several days, trading emails, they still couldn't tell me what to do to move forward. So I just applied for a replacement title. That got everything back on track. Just delayed the process. If they would have sent instructions immediately, I could have avoided the problems. You don't have to use the secure checkout. It is a good thing if you know the ropes. They handle exchanging the funds, signing the title via power of attorney, and get the title and temp tags for the new owner. They also arrange for the transportation company to pick up the vehicle. That was very smooth. Caramel will pay you 100% of the funds immediately when they receive the title. I went ahead and shipped the vehicle before I got the replacement title. They pay 50% immediately when the vehicle ships. The other 50% when they get the title. I didn't like that much. But I screwed up and wanted to do right by the buyer. He was very nice and patient fortunately. All's well that ends well I guess. I would sell there again. Hope that all makes sense. Feel free to ask me anything about it.

[JSchmitz]

Here's the completed auction: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-k5-blazer-15/

I think the Blazer should have brought closer to $15k. The 305 hurt it's value. Would have brought a bit more with a better engine. NBD. I owned it for ten years. Had about half of the sale price in it. So how bad could it be right?

[ponchjoe]

11k was too cheap but as long as you’re happy that’s all that matters.

[TAKerry]

Very curious as to why they did not want you to sign the title over? You were the legal owner selling the vehicle. The POA is ok but if the owner is present and can sign it shouldnt have been that big of a deal.
