I think it was on BaT recently with RNM.

Seller was buying and selling a lot of cars, but not registered as a dealer.

This will be interesting.... Of course, all it takes are two well-heeled bidders (that may not know the BaT history) to make the seller happy.....

This car looked really good in photos. But as @craterface mentioned the seller sells a lot of cars on BAT. Not registered as a car “dealer”, always out of CA, and all have the MT title…hmm…

Auctions were soft overall. 50s Italian cars were waaay off. There was an Alfa that was RNM on BaT last year at 520k that went for 291k this time. And that was typical. RM still rules the roost, and Broad Arrow still has trouble getting traction.
