ya the silver one is very clean also, makes me wish I put a front lip on at some point. Very very surprised they chose to list that one within days of mine. A little annoyed as I've been following swaps for sale on bat for years and they have never done it once. I asked them about it and they tried to say to look up a porsche 996 and see how many of those are listed at the same time. But obviously I know and would have liked them to understand that's not close to the same scenario haha. smh. well at least he got an early shill bid right behind mine so buyers don't miss out on one to try for another. Hopefully we both get a good price for everyone in here.

Yeah. I'd hope that they at least contacted the Silver owner to say, "hey, we have another swapped RS on the market at the same time. We'd appreciate it if you allowed us to list it after the conclusion of that RS."

By the way, no need for super details, but how does the process work to get it on BaT? I'm more interested in the timeline. After you contact them, how long until they list it? Do you set the date? Or do they set the date?

Ya they gave me some bs other reasonings about listing it within days of mine. Buts it’s okay.
You provide a photo and details. They approve your car usually within a day or two. Then you have to provide professional photos or you can pay to have photos done by a BAT contracted photo company. I did that and it was very extensive but took 1 month to get a photographer available. Basically once photos are done, within a couple days, then send a draft of the listing and you ask for edits or approve it. Then it goes to scheduling department which takes 48 hours to provide a listing date. The guy said they literally discussed listing the silver with mine up and said the cars are different enough…. Like Subaru impreza 2.5Rs EJ swap, 6-speed isn’t similar enough hahah. Just weird cuz I’ve never seen it happen before. They set the date but you can request days. I requested a Saturday or Sunday listing. Usually you want to end on a Friday-Sunday but his got listed on a Wednesday. Lol. All in all 1.5 months to get listed. Could be within weeks if you have a photographer available already.

Pretty clean and bar too. Market is a little rocky lately and even more so going forward. Will be interesting to see what this reaches. 20-25k is my guess.
26,250. I didn't look at it very closely, but given the last few auctions, this one surprised me a bit. Looks like you were close enough to being right.
