When mine was listed last summer, there were two others. One ended shortly after mine went live. And then as soon as mine was done, another popped up. So I don't think three overlapping is hugely unusual. If you look at their scatter diagram, you can see the bulge last summer...

Wife and I will be making that loop from Calistoga in early October. Sadly, just in a rental car.

FWIW, it took my listing about 7 or 8 weeks from accepted submission to live listing last July. Not sure if they're still on that kind of cycle, but their volume of vehicles certainly hasn't slowed down...

Superficial buying seems to be what BaT is now built for.

So...you chickened out?

Delightful. West Linn must be a place where you don't run afoul of zoning or building federales? In my town, that looks like 6 months of permit negotiating....

Ugh. Signs of a flaccid market...and a little relisting "burn."

Pulling the reserve at $77k heading into overtime is an interesting move. i bet everyone on the selling side regrets not taking the $101k last year.

If any one has the pull to get a car relisted, it's r911. Not much material that's changed since a year ago. And still missing the VIN plate, as Chris pointed out.

"Send more Chuck Berry."

Hey, Dan. Can you see what this unit sold for? (I think you may have Copart powers I don't have...) https://www.copart.com/lot/58944381/clean-title-1969-mercedes-benz-280sl-nj-trenton

Sigh. This is the sale price that emboldened me to list mine last year. I do think it's very likely a different market now, so unless the seller/consignee REALLY wants to fund his 992 purchase with this, it has all the earmarks of RNM.

Just lovely. Coincidentally, you must be the second of two Byrons I know in Tiburon...the first is a friend who sails out of the Corinthian...

Not an expert, but I literally initiated a solar installation plan at my house in Illinois today, oddly enough. At least here (and through the technology I'm aware of), you are returning domestically generated electricity to the grid through your utility to get a kWh offset and lower bills, and...

Thanks. I'm having impure thoughts about something that may or may not have an engine: https://www.copart.com/lot/58944381/clean-title-1969-mercedes-benz-280sl-nj-trenton

Hey, Dan, when Copart listings say "No" in the engine field, what does that mean exactly? Most of these obviously have engines...the 928 in particular... Just curious.

Thanks, Luis! I'll give the uncrimping a shot. If I blow that, I'll get the newer Bosch unit and follow the tii forum instructions.

Probably good advice, Steve, thanks. You're talking about the Bosch 69412? That seems to be mentioned most often. Other than an in-tank option. https://www.ebay.com/itm/372954404615?_ul=IN

Nope. Not the hoses. Replaced them (with the right clamps, thanks Don) and it's the dreaded o-ring inside the pump, with the leak source visible in slo-mo video. Replacements rings now on order, per Luis' helpful thread from years ago: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/fuel-pump-leaking.15626/...

I'm half ignorant here, too, so based on my scouring of other fuel pump posts on the forum, this is an electric pump that has a sump/reservoir attached underneath via a bracket, for gravity reasons, and not the filter. Don's comment from 2017: "It's a reservoir or sump for fuel. Needed on cars...
