BaT has a wait time to even get your car listed (if they accept it) and many hoops to jump through. I've seen a lot of what I'd call "estate As" on small dealer and collector sites. All were at least 5 grand over what I figure they were worth. I'd guess they were consignments so it didn't matter to the dealer how long they sat. MAFCA has a classified section. The run of the mill cars don't fit in well with national advertising. Go local - Someone isn't going to spend 15-20 grand without laying eyes on the car. Sure a inspection guy will look at it for $150 and then there is getting it transported for another 1,500-3,000. That adds too much to the cost.
I suspect this isn't the best time of the year to be selling a summer car in MI.
