Can someone share info about the lag time between initial contact with BAT to list an e30 for auction, and the estimated time until they post the vehicle? TIA

Depends how quick you give them what they want. I was ready with pics and videos so they were able to post it pretty quick. I also stressed that I wanted to sell it quick because of an expiring 90-day smog transfer for California cars

Nice one! Gratz.

I basically told them this is the comp Im chasing and we'll see where it falls in comparison.

the last two e30's that sold around here both went as private local sales. spoke to one of the sellers, he had a few cars and believed he does better than using an auction site when he sells a car. it's more of a hassle here though as we aren't in the US. anything interesting here in decent shape sells really fast.

Reichart12 They claim that they take care not to overlap similar cars and are doing their best to defend their action here, but this is a mess and it royally sucks for me... Im in the worst position since mine is the Auto and ends first. We'll see what happens.

Show them the comps for individual sales versus a clump. If that shows them they are losing out on revenue, they might care, otherwise too bad.

Not sure how long yours was in the queue but from an outsiders perspective they do seem to batch vehicles. I have alerts set on a few and it feels like it goes from nothing over a couple months to several back to back. Had no e21's for February and then three close in March all located near Seattle albeit different owners and condition.

This one is local to me, I've seen it a couple of times. Would love to pull the trunk carpet and see what the rear end collision repairs look like. Never was a fan of those wheels.

You should ask, that was the one that really annoyed me when it popped up. BaT says two Red 325i wont affect each other, but I disagree... either way, the wheels are in motion and a few days left on mine
