Default Ebay or BAT to sell my 993?

As some know, my 993 tip is for sale ($78,750) in the Rennlist marketplace and I am going to list it elsewhere for increased exposure. The cost to list is similar on both ebay and BAT, but the buyer fees for BAT are 5% and the peanut gallery comments on tips are annoying! Tempted to try ebay, but wondered what you guys think about the 2 platforms?

If you haven't already, just list it in PANORAMA for free.

Listing for free on Facebook Marketplace may give you more exposure than expected. You’ll get scammers and tire-kickers… but that’s true with any site. Best of luck

you could ring the bell on BaT but you have to complete the full performance. do you have the time and desire to do that dance?

Only if I have to! I think I just need some good exposure for the car. It is a great example and I believe that I am priced in the ballpark based on recent sales. Obviously, the tip market is smaller, so finding the right person will take longer. The time of year isn't perfect either, so I may just keep running my ads until the Spring when there are more itches to scratch

From my experience watching from the sidelines, it seems like BAT would bring the most money.

I don't think BAT will allow you list it elsewhere (listing provision) once it's on their auction.

That is true. You have to take down the pricing in other ads and link to the BAT auction.

I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet. 37k original miles? Seems like a deal, tip or not.

Thanks! The first person seriously looking for a super clean low mile tip will buy it.
