So What is happening with Bring a Trailer for the month of January?? Here is what they posted :• 2,891 Listings (a large volume drop vs. middle 2023) • 1,206 No Reserve Listings • 78% Sale Rate But as you know, one has to DIG Deeper into the data as the sale rate is skewed by the No Reserve Sales, so here is the real data :• 1,605 Listings w/ Reserves • 1,048 “SOLD” (remember sold doesn’t actually always mean transacted…) • 65% Sale Rate for Reserve CarsHow does this compare: • June 2023: 3,100 listings • September 2023- 3,480 listings • June 2023 Reserve Sell thru rate: 63.7% • September 2023 Reserve Sell thru rate 67% Key Takeaways: • The “noise” out there is that more and more cars are NOT making reserve… the data says otherwise • The volume of cars has dropped, however that is likely reflective that January is generally a slower month in the collector car space vs. mid-summer/early fall. • IF you are thinking of selling your Porsche on Bring a Trailer, please reach out and I will give you an honest assessment of whether or not it is a good fit… believe it or not, while I am very successful on BaT, I sell the VAST majority of my cars OFF of BaT…..
