Somebody likes bids that end in 69.  :rofl2:
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

That Sofia likes me it seems  :run:

Hoping for a nice finish, things are calm so far... The car was RNM on Pcarmarket with another broker last year, at $160,930, which is a good barometer of where the reserve is at.

If you look at Sophia's bidding history, they have won a few past bids, with most  of them ending in 69. 

Anyway, have a way to go to meet reserve by the sounds of it.  Good luck BP.

I have the owner on a speed dial to lower the reserve or kill it outright, but I think he should have taken that $160,030. The colour combo is both rare and unique, but 930's are $130k cars these days.

The 2.5% duty at the border is not helping either.

Oh well, is it too late to get it to a Barrett Jackson auction?

I'm neg'ing with the top bidder and things appear to be going well. By lunch tomorrow I may have sold my first car on BaT, but off Bat (no buyer's fee this way!)

If BAT found out about it would there be any repercussions about listing on their site again?

Good luck with the negotiations

That’s actually how BaT works. If the vehicle doesn’t sell during the auction, they put the top bidder in contact with the seller to see if they can work out a deal offline. And BaT doesn’t make a dime on the sale. It’s their own rules!

Don't worry.
