Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Chevyland** · 09-01-2020, 11:42 PM

This went through last week
I thought it was a steal
(Museum quality-
top dog-
found on road dead)
I just couldn’t pull the trigger

**Chevyland** · 09-01-2020, 11:59 PM

Hmm
Kinda strange
Right after I started this post
I looked at the site
This just came on
I bought this blazer about 10 years ago
It had zero rust
Restored to stock, and Sold it a few years back

Now it’s for sale again

It's that 6th sense of yours at work

I'm kind of blown away by the prices, seem a little high to me. I'm generally not a fan of sports cars, but I always liked these. Never drove one, but seems to be you're getting a vintage British-like Sport's Car without the British problems. Price seems good to me.

For near $70,000 I would expect the under side of the hood to have been painted nice too.

**Boog** · 09-08-2020, 05:30 PM

Well that was a strange auction. I watched it the last 30 minutes. It sold for
$87,500. What was strange was at the 1 minute mark another bid was placed and the clock reset to 2 minutes and counted down until the next bid was placed then it reset to 2 minutes again and counted down. It did this about 5 times. I've not seen that before.

A sneaky way to get more commission?.......

That should be clearly illegal. Worth mentioning I rec'd an alert I hadn't seen before after registering. Something about tracking passwords, not the normal, didn't seem right at all. Their account platform is peculiar for a number of reasons.

Some of the online equipment auctions we buy on do it that way. We bought a compactor online a couple of weeks ago. The bid "renewed" four or five times before it ended. We usually do a proxy bid for our max amount, so if somebody puts a bid in at the last second the bidding renews.

[QUOTE=71CHEVYSHORTBED402;8804855]It's that 6th sense of yours at work

If I had a 6th sense
I wouldn’t have sold the blazer for less than a third
What it brought a few years later

It did get some work done after I let it go
But, I am shocked what they bring now
I originally paid $3500 for it

Kudos to the guy I sold it to
He did very well

**Chevyland** · 09-08-2020, 08:16 PM

Here’s another one
I’m sure it will bring stupid money too !

7 days left and 25k already

**Boog** · 09-08-2020, 09:03 PM

Well the business model is certainly good for the sellers and auction company. I look at this from a buyer's perspective though.
I am a spectator only as I do not buy at auctions. I don't need the competition.

**68bowtie** · 09-02-2020, 12:35 AM

Nice nice nice

**dave6672** · 09-02-2020, 06:54 AM

Yes, I follow it and it seems like our trucks are doing pretty well on that site. Although the ones I've seen on there have been top shelf trucks typically, just like that Ford.

I though this was interesting. There was a one owner 69 Chevelle SS396, 4 speed on Bring a Trailer and listed next to it was a one owner 1983 VW Rabbit GTI with 122,000 miles. Neither car was perfect and the Chevelle had some front fender rust but was a nice looking original car. The Rabbit bid to $32,500 and the Chevelle bid to $29,000. Cars from the 80's cars are on the increase, but didn't think a VW Rabbit would outbid a 1969 SS396 Chevelle.

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-02-2020, 07:09 AM

I haven't followed bring a trailer before. I'm going to get tar and feathers for this. That was mighty nice F###. I always liked that Blazer....

**special-K** · 09-02-2020, 09:35 AM

I'm not a player these days, so I rarely go looking at trucks for sale. Too rich for my blood anymore. That's a cool F100 4wd. Museum quality? YeeeIdunno. Those Maverick hubcaps don't look bad on there. And I have looked at Bring A Trailer when I was searching and even tortured myself a few times when I couldn't buy a lug nut.

It's ok Dale. All American made 4wd trucks from the mid '60s - early '70s are cool beans. They had very little difference in design, construction, and drivetrain from the frame down. It has always been a dream of mine to have a full set of '71 3/4t 4wd Chevy, GMC, Ford, Dodge, and International. Not '72 because I want the 61-71 dodge body style. Although the '72 Dodge Power Wagon is a fine looking style in itself. At a glance, the '70s Dodge body style is very close to the 67-72 GM.

**GOPAPA** · 09-02-2020, 06:35 PM

Eric ,,that is a great looking K5 you had ,,betcha wished you had it back ... as for the Ford Truck ..it gets second billing ,,just cause my first love is Chevy,.,but really if you parked a Chevy truck along side the Ford truck ,,same year ,,chrome and all ..there pretty much alike .. thx for the tip on Bring a Trailer..always nice to scroll thru different sites lioke that is ..

I not sure I get it. Owner pays to have K10 restored by a third party and then sells it for $61000. I've got to believe the resto cost north of $80,000.
I have only bid on one truck (didn't win), but I find BAT entertaining and they seem to bring decent money to their auctions.

**Chevyland** · 09-08-2020, 09:46 PM

Some people have money to burn on both ends of the deal
Personally
If I were going to pay money for a
‘Built Truck’
It Would Look Like

Same happens with street rods . People with fat wallets use it a few years and then it's off to the next one that was being built at the same time.

I’ve followed a few auctions. The comments can be amusing.
