Well, I just got an email that my Blazer was accepted by BaT. So I'm gonna roll the dice. I'll let ya know how it goes. Thanks to all for your input!

Will do. Thank you sir!

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.

The third party, Caramel, handles the entire transaction. They receive the funds from the buyer. Then the seller sends the title to Caramel. The seller signs a power of attorney for Caramel. Caramel receives the title and transfers it to the buyer. I assume the buyer also gives POA to Caramel. I didn't understand why our signing the title should matter. Maybe because we couldn't be present at the DMV? Missouri DMV also said there shouldn't be a problem. It all would have worked just fine if they would have given me explicit instructions immediately. I own not reading and seeking understanding of the process. Lesson learned.

I recently bought a wrecked 2013 Camaro SS through Ridesafely. Ridesafely is a broker. They purchased from Copart on my behalf. Caramel should take some pointers from them. They were very thorough in leading me through the entire process. They had a checklist to make it very clear. Each point turns green when it's completed in sequence.

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'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.

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


Not accepting it, there will be a fight.

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!

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…

[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.

Very informative thread. I'm listing my restored 1972 Alfa Romeo GTV on BAT; they accepted it, their photographer is taking pictures tomorrow.

This is my first time selling on BAT, so if anyone has any tips, please let me know.

thanks

That's an beautiful example of one of my favorite cars. I'm sure you will do well with it. Expect a full on interrogation from all the Alfisti that will get notified when it hits the site. Auctions there seem to do better when the seller is fully engaged with the comments. Which on cars like yours may get above 100.
Having a driving video where the car is being driven enthusiastically will get folks excited about your car. Just driving thru town in traffic recording it on a cell phone won't that that crowd enthused. The world is jaded from all the car ads on TV showing professional drivers doing what your never supposed to do with their cars.
Hope your ready.
Good luck!
