@john-norris Thanks!

@Saracen Yeah well sometimes Porsche makes strange exceptions for no real reason and they expect us to just hand money over (and we do).

@Snakesm13 dumb luck strikes again!

@Plymouth-Superbird-2nd That one ticks all the boxes! Can't imagine how fun that would be.

@dtg11 WOW! Silver really works on that car.

@ST80MND Oh man that is one spicy Ikea meatball!

@Snakesm13

Let's go with a classic Mercedes. It's six days out, and it's already bid up to close to what Hagerty sets as its value. I'll give a starting guess of $132,000.

@Snakesm13

Ah, did you forget something?

Yup getting it out today, format is way too complex to do from my phone I found out.

@Snakesm13

Suddenly we suck at this!!!

Edit:

That $15,400 initial bid threw us all off. I wonder if it was a friend of the seller trying to get the price up a bit. He knew it would be under the reserve so it would be a safe bid. Not that anyone would try and manipulate an auction.

(takes tin foil hat off)

@Snakesm13

Is there a round 68?

Not yet, made a trip out of town this weekend and felt I couldn't give Oppo the attention it deserved to keep up with people's guesses.

@Snakesm13 definitely just a lucky guess!

Here’s my pick, this was one of my favorite track cars in Forza Motorsport 4. I’m gonna guess
0E682796-973E-4EA0-981B-7614F91327D4.gif

I know this car has a rebuilt title, but daaaaaaaaamn that is a steal for a Black Series!

Daaaaaamn. Crack pipe.

But yay me! LOL

@Snakesm13 Oops! Forgot about that. I'll shoot you a DM shortly.

@Snakesm13 said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 62:

Let the Dynasty Run begin

Great win. Congrats!

@Snakesm13 Moving on up in the world!

@Snakesm13 OK, so after a cursory perusal of the usual Porsches, Ferarris, and other boring stuff, there's a couple standout oddballs. A racecar that's like a modern Mosler. There's an XLR, an SSR, a Prowler with matching trailer, and a TC by Maserati, which, that last one's interesting.
But ultimately it's down to this Lambo, and the one that I'm most interested in, this gorgeous little number from 1956.
I'm gonna guess that it goes for $22,222.22. Because why not.

@Snakesm13 $57,241.

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 58:

A nosebleed price, but it looks like a superb example and a rolling textbook on how to present a car for sale.

I can't argue with that. Such good photography.

@pyroholtz ¯\(ツ)/¯

@john-norris Absolutely this, plus for me, I have trouble distinguishing between a good number two car and a number one car, I know it can make a huge difference in hammer price (or sometimes not, as there are many bidders without the ability to make that fine distinction too, which is part of why the guessing is a bit of a crapshoot).

The noticeable difference (for me anyway) between a $200,000 and $300,000 series one E-type is negligible, but to some obviously worth quite a bit.

@davesaddiction My kind of collection.

@e90m3 that seems only perfect, I’ll get it posted up tomorrow.

@mocamino Perfect, I get it up tomorrow.

@Snakesm13 oh, you don't need to do anything special, I can look it up. My usual mode of operation around here is to just open up the page a few times a day and read whatever topics catch my eye.

Here's the link to the next one.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1968-shelby-gt500kr-6/

I'll guess $265,000

@Snakesm13 DM sent!

@Snakesm13 the miles are too high for big money. I'm going 18,000

@Snakesm13

I better get this out there before the pitchforks and torches arrive.

That Lambo did have a little bit of the DeLorean look to it. So I'll go with this baby, with a little bit of the Marty McFly look.

This is a $16,000 truck, even without the full Marty McFly equipment and paint.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1988-toyota-pickup-16/

I bought an 1989 Toyota PU brand new. Sold it in the 90's. Never ever sell your cars.

@SAAB_9-3_SportCombi When you get a chance, hop on over to BAT and select the next auction, let me know your guess and I'll get it posted up.

@Snakesm13 Hot damn! Finally another win

@john-norris haha live by price is right, die by price is right. I was going to accuse you of buying it and you picked 25k cause that was what your max bid was 😂😜

@john-norris I’ll probably post it up tomorrow but I want to give the winner “first choice” in case someone picks your guess before you.

@Mr-Ontop said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 44:

@Snakesm13 you are assuming I put thought into my answers, that's your first mistake!

Sounds like all of us! Go ahead when you get a chance and look over the BAT auctions, pick the next one and give me your guess. I'll get it posted up later. Thanks!

@Snakesm13 derp

So close.

@Snakesm13 said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 42:

@MisterButtercup with the win!

@Italia Thanks, I’ll get it posted up tomorrow as the weekend is usually dead.

@Snakesm13 Awesome! There's also an 80's M-B Diesel wagon in yellow/brown currently up that's in the right time frame, but it's an automatic. If it was manual the decision would have been easier.

@snakesm13 $115,000

@snakesm13 Thanks

@nick-hynds said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Special Edition #2:

@snakesm13 I think i won

You sure did, Congrats!

@snakesm13
K

@notsomethingstructural Well I think having to import that from Canada will keep the price down ...

@pip-bip Two in a row! Look at you with all the insider trading knowledge.

@snakesm13 I let you know tonight

Congrats @pyroholtz it went much higher than I obviously expected! Check out the auctions on BAT and let me know what you pick for the next game.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas oh mama, I’ll post it up tomorrow

@snakesm13 said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 32:

@ClassicDatsunDebate AGAIN!?!

Lol…holy shit 🙂

@snakesm13 said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 31:

With the equivalent of $1, Bob, @ClassicDatsunDebate wins! Congrats.

Yay! I’m also surprised that sanity prevails for once on BaT. I guess the market figured out that this was a $6000 Saab with some stickers and a roof rack 🙂

@snakesm13 awesome!

Now that the holidays have passed, congrats @nerd_racing on another win!

@mr-ontop said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 28:

@snakesm13 My guess was shockingly close.

Hand grenades and whatnot...

I had to triple take to make sure it wasn't you that won!

@snakesm13

Haha!! Yes!!!

Gimme that asterisk. 😁

Thanks for making this possible @benjrblant

@phenotyp said in BAT Auction Oppo Game: Round 27:

@snakesm13 I think we have to go with the SVX.

And your initial guess?

@snakesm13 I'm honestly shocked that it didn't crack a mil.

@snakesm13 A win's a win 🙂

@snakesm13 I'll pick one right now. Sorry for the delay. Our servers crashed at work and screwed up our firewall and I lost my login info.

@snakesm13

Hell yes!

I knew that extra significant digit would seal the victory for me.

Detrimental to @nerd_racing though. He should have stopped while he was ahead. 😁

Much like Icarus, I got cocky and flew too close to the sun.

@hike Targa and a whale tale! I'll get it posted up today.

@snakesm13 Sweet! I've broken the code!
