Bring A Trailer over Labor Day weekend?

[Kingryan86]

Hi guys, I have a quick question about anyone’s BAT experience, I’m listing one of my cars and they are about to publish it soon, I am a littler weary about have my auction going during Labor Day weekend. In my area most people are on vacation or out camping, do you think it would be beneficial to have them postpone my auction until after the holiday weekend? 

Im not selling any of my 2002s, but my 74k mile 84 VW Rabbit Gti.

I am envious - I had one in high school and loved it - same color. Miss it often - almost having a manly sniffle about it now. It was the next truthful caretaker of the 2002 soul since 1976.

Postpone

From what I've seen, everything happens on the last day, so yours won't end on Monday if it's not already listed. Weekends seem like early closing on BAT anyway; no listing ends on a w/end or starts.

Nor are auctions active on holidays.

That is c l e a n! That's gotta kill ya to sell that peach!

 

My little brother had one in silver..drove it nearly 2 decades

I think some cars do poorly around the holidays, so I would wait a few days if possible.

Great cars I had a 83' GTI new ordered it,  miss that car a lot .GLWA

The twin car but white with blue interior and 500 more miles just brought $18,500 like 4 months ago, I’d be more than happy  with anything near 15k. I got it from the original owner. It is a super cool car, but I impulse bought it.

Also, thanks for the input everyone, I think I’m going to postpone it and start it Tuesday after Labor Day. My auction rep said out of the almost 22k cars they’ve auctioned that they’ve seen “great results” during that period. But I feel like they probably just want as many car to go live as possible. I’ll post my results of the car on this discussion.. thanks guys

for our viewing pleasure

Oh no, I only have my red one, but an 1984 Rabbit GTI with 75k miles that was here in Washington sold on Bring a Trailer for $18,500, mine is same year, same model, same area, but mine is a Sunroof and A/C car. Here is a link to the comparable car. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1984-volkswagen-rabbit-12/
