meetthespeakers..  I have tried couple times to list VW campers on BaT.. I was accepted FINALLY but they wanted to me to list with NO RESERVE.. I sure was NOT going to do this on $30K VW autovilla.. and this after I had to put up FIDDY photos.and video link.... I have given up BaT as selling option. I just stick to www.ebay.com  www.ebay.co.uk   www.milanuncios.com and of course www.craigslist.org  and www.kijiji.ca   Pups sell real well in the UK and Japan..  let me IF I can help with the export.. later bc. 

My only concern is the Pup is not original. It is a mild custom. I feel if stated so, then hopefully it won't be nitpicked apart for what it isn't supposed to be. Maybe I should create a Rejected BAT Site, lol. My classic mini parts trading site aint doing too bad with almost 900 members in the USA. 

Sounds like someone needs to build a site out of BaT rejected auction cars and watch them eat their words. IMO just about any Mini on BaT will do well.

With BAT being such a view house these days.. I'm sure they are getting too many submissions so they can be choosy!

Clearly there is a need for these "other' cars  if people ask to list. why not offer the option. Take the listing fees move on.
    BAT already has a separate HIGH END auction site..  6 Figure Cars  $$$,$$$ known as  PREMIUM  Listings.... then the normal site..
     
Clearly the need for a 'LOW END' off the wall showcase! OR An oppertunity for someone to build one!
  
JOHN -  Im NOT saying your cars are  Low end or such... Just if they denied it they should still have place for it . (simpler)  Bat brings power in numbers of views... sadly that has watered down the place with overcrowding.
  The pickup will do great on BAT = Never been a Pickup on BAT before, that is what they want.

I just wanted to note thewerewolf, I tried submitting my 2nd Mini to BAT and 2nd time getting rejected. This is what they had to say:

"Unfortunately, we do not feel that your Mini is a good fit for our site and audience. We are inundated with a high volume of great submissions and simply cannot list them all. We appreciate that you considered BaT Auctions and wish you best of luck with the sale."

I was bummed because I personally thought it would have done ok on there. Unless they are only going to cater to all Original or Cooper S only classic Minis. I am going to try and submit the pickup on there probably next week and see if that one goes through... if not, then I probably will be done with that site.

OMG... what bad reviews..  well.  what you expect with auction site that does NOT let  you do SIGHT INSPECTIONS..??  thanks for the post.. later bc

Jim  have you noticed the quality of classic minis has declined on Bat of late?/ lots of FAKE cooper s . that only ML could love. ( and bid on)

that was the nicest looking Mini in the world..it was time to move on to another 

That could be switched to your liking couldn't it Jim? By the way I like the old mini ad you posted.

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE STEERING WHEEL IS ON THE WRONG SIDE

well..  you were quite right.. bidding went to mere $5501.. USD..  RNM..  saw he had $22k. Can in it..  later bc

well.. an hour to go.. up to mere $5200..  where are you ML? no more bidding today?? later bc

With that amount of rust/rot work it must have been a labour of love as he will never get that money back even if his labour rate was 50c an hour.
The paint is actually a vinyl wrap matched to his motor home.

Indeed!

Weird paint. in


Thanks.

yea.. seller is real ANAL..  400 plus photos..seller  kin to ML?/  my guess the reserve is $15k.. dont you think Malsal?/   later bc

Couldn't get much farther away from you in CA Mike....lol

What Dan said.  We're smart up here in Canada, but most of us aren't psychic.

It's not like your post was "BAT in Lichtenstein", "BAT in Andorra" or "BAT in Bermuda" (ie: Canada's pretty big)

I sold a rust bucket some years back with a fiberglass flip front.  Where in Canada are we talking?
Car's colour? Specs? Location?

Can you post a link?

yea.. me thinks this also.. too bad  this in canada..  going to be a  bitch to import..  as seem CBP have their panties in twist of later over minis and land rover defenders.. everything MUST be OEM..  later bc
