Does BAT really charge 5%?
What are they offering that is above and beyond an Ebay?

BAT has an incredible peanut gallery.

Some of the commenters swing for the fences. For the newbie they give great insight into the cars being offered.

Sold! Didn't seem bad at all. Full commission for online auction! Super low overhead. Probably here to stay

I don't know, if you sell online via RM Sotheby's you pay a 10% sellers fee. So in this instance, the seller sold for approx $90k, and buyer paid $115k. Again, great for the house. Compare to Bring a Trailer, another online auction, seller only pays $99, and buyer pays 5% of sales price, to a max of $5k. Fees alone are a no-brainer, exposure too, I think is in BaT's favor. To me, if you lose the physical presence, why pay all these fees?

What does the actual registry say about this GT350 I have seen some things on the pics, but would like to know what the registry says before.

Well.... We do not know what the seller "actually" paid in sellers commission but... We do know the buyer paid $115,500 "all in"
My bet is the seller did "not" pay 10 percent in sellers commission.

What I posted is the detail found in all auction sites. The details state buyer and seller fees as fixed amounts.
However, make no mistake that both fees are negotiable depending who you are. Sellers here, elsewhere, love to tout inflated prices - hammer plus 10% as a given. Mecum, others now post all-in prices, where a few years ago they only posted hammer prices, leaving it to adults to assume there were buyer fees, but to what amount is private. Now it's easier, self-serving to inflate and just add 10% to everything. Nobody will know what's done in private, no?

Buyers fees are "non negotiable"...

You are correct about sellers fees depending on who you are, how much business you have done with a particular auction company and so on...

Entry fee + transportation as well for most sellers
