At this point I've bought 4 locked FZJ80's and haven't spent over 8k for any one of them.

It's a nicely put together truck though, and completely ready to go. Nicely sold.

They had a 94 with lift and 33's the other day with 237k go for 18500. Lockers as well.

 

[thatcabledude]

That's just great!

 

[Nframe]

Had all the right stuff on it.

If you can do a reserve I might throw mine up there for S&G's at 65k and see what happens lol. Maybe i'll break even Haha.

Clean looking truck (up top).

Love the raw dog underside photos with a chopped exhaust and mud all over

 

[Scrapedknuckles]

Man! For almost 20 G’s. I’d want the engine compartment clean. I can only imagine what the underside looked like. FAIL

With an online auction what prevents the seller from shill bidding? Some of these auctions lately has made me suspect of this happening. I saw a fj40 sell for 50k recently on bat. Now it's on ebay about a month later. Also even if the auction ends, the highest bidder can still back out Correct? I'm curious what percentage of these auction deals actually go all the way.

Don’t forget the buyer has to pay 5% on top
Of the hammer price as well on bat

 

[ItsBavid]

Sold. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

 

[BigredTEX]

Interesting. I know the buyer well. He has several 80's already, from daily driver to parts donor. I'll have to see what his intentions are.

The other interesting thing is mine is set up very similarly, except it's got an LS2 and 4l60e, which adds maybe $10k to the total. However, I've got much more in the truck than potential sale price would recover.

 

[Ncrunner4x4]

This one was listed on MUD last year for $22k, not sure what it sold for though. It did sell as I was keeping in touch with seller because I was considering buying but didn't have a vehicle sold to purchase.

Bring a Trailer is very curated. There's no mechanism for self-posting and they're pretty picky. They'll also negotiate your reserve with you before they agree to list it.

Good to know, I learn something new everyday.

 

[Feldrian]

Makes me feel warm and fuzzy that if I ever need to sell my rig I should only see 75% depreciation or so

Carrying on!

Does make me nervous in a musical chairs sense, the music is about to stop and I hope the chair I've got lasts a while... I doubt the insurance company would put much stock in these types of prices when negotiating a payout on a total loss.

I actually sold my 86 Mustang GT on Bring a Trailer in January. Anyone bidding on a vehicle has to provide a credit card. The credit card will be pre charged 5 percent of the bid price. So if a seller had someone else bidding then won the auction they would be on the hook for the 5 percent buyer fee plus the cost of the auction to the seller. The winning bidder could back out but would lose their account. Thats pretty rare actually. The flippers are scouring BaT and other sites. A friend of mine just sold his 84 SVO Mustang on BaT last month. A local Ford dealer was the winning bidder and a week later was listed on their site for 5k more than what they bought it for.

Get used to it. I ain't selling mine for anything < a 3 starting in front of it followed by 4 0s.

That's why you gotta go declared value, but there's a bunch of stipulations involved which is a pain in the arse so the real sweet spot for anything close to daily driver type enjoyment (~8-10K miles a year) is to find one that's been driven & well cared for, mechanically & cosmetically.

These 80s are EXTREMELY difficult to find and this BaT one above isn't one of them.

 

[JLH911]

Woohoo! I have a beautiful 87 60 and a locked 97 LX450. Screw my 401k! haha
