i was schooled, by an auto broker, how auto broker's browse websites specific to clients needs looking for potential purchases. seemingly the only discernable difference i saw between Mud and BAT was the amount of views and a timeline to which I would sweat out the ridiculous reserve that BAT wishes me to enter.Personally, I just don’t see your buyer as someone browsing the FJ45 Classifieds Corner on Mud. I would go with BaT regardless of what reserve they want to give you.

i could be completely wrong with my intuition, perhaps naïve/ overly optimistic. it has happened to me before, so i won't be shocked if i've erred again
thank you for the honest opinion, part of me freely agrees with your stance
As an example, a user had a ‘78 FJ40 listed on mud for months for ~$45k. Got grief from the peanut gallery regarding poor photos and high asking price. Was recommended to OP to take his sale to BAT if the truck was indeed worthy of the asking price. He did, and the auction closed at $70k. This is within the last month or two. The flipside to this is the lily white FJ45 survivor that another mud member listed on BAT with no reserve. It was stolen for $26.5k (IMO). There is no rhyme or reason to the final number on BAT, but my guess is youll get more money for it there than here.

x2 - nice thing about eBay is you do get a lot of eyes on it, price it a little higher with "make offer" and see if you can get some interest. I can understand being scared away by BaT and their reserve prices. Have seen some cruisers go for WAY too cheap on there. Its mostly a sports car market on that site I think. And if after a month or two on eBay it hasn't gotten some interest, maybe then consider BaT I guess.Ebay Motors and Cars/bids as well.. there are local guys here who have spent similar money on complete junk sight unseen. I also think you are way underselling this
