Man this is exciting and stressful! Crazy to see it jumping up so much.

6DoF · 02-05-2021, 05:22 PM

BOOM!!!!

$10,550 SOLD

Sir Sam · 02-05-2021, 06:29 PM

Man this was a crazy afternoon watching the bidding. Winning bidder came in with a bid with like 25 seconds left.

6DoF · 02-08-2021, 07:34 AM

so now how does it work? does BaT take the money and the jeep? was he local for pick-up?

Nice work Sam!

Guy is in the florida keys, hes getting shipping quotes but is also considering flying out and driving it back.

Its up to us to arrange payment, likely end up with a wire transfer for payment.

Just catching up on emails from my return from the desert, haven't been on

or elsewhere much since...saw the BAT email say the auction ended so I peeked, wow, nice sale.

Great profit...dude, very nicely done!!

Congrats! Assuming since the big D is over, this was your buy and your sale? Or did you work a deal w/ the old man again...thinking you might be in the market for another flip soon if they can go like this

Sir Sam · 02-08-2021, 06:42 PM

My dad paid for it, titled and registered it, and he is the one receiving the funds from the sale.

Now that I’m single any future purchases I make won’t be subject to divorce stuff. Trust me if I could buy flips this nice I’d fix and sell them on BAT all day long. Finding good flips is hard, hence why I’m looking at importing rare vehicles to resell on BAT.

Cobound · 02-09-2021, 02:10 PM

Gotcha...I wondered. Nice you're old man was able to be there for ya, I'm sure the projects helped w/ the mind.

Now you got your land to look for, and I'm confident you'll find some flips soon as well.

Good luck,

B

nblehm · 02-09-2021, 05:11 PM

Nice flip!

Sir Sam · 02-10-2021, 04:57 PM

Thanks!

Wire transfer came in yesterday. Shipper is coming friday to pickup car for transport to the florida keys. Send paperwork via certified mail tomorrow.

Now to work on something else.....

Blue XJ · 02-11-2021, 09:56 AM

Any idea what he paid for the shipper? That seems like it would be pretty pricey

I do not know, but I also saw right after this BAT gives you the option to price out a shipper when the auction is live.

Blue XJ · 02-11-2021, 04:18 PM

My buddy has had a few vehicles shipped in from out west, it's normally about $1200. I just figured going to the keys is about as far as you can go, so it's probably more.

Sir Sam · 02-12-2021, 11:26 PM

Jeep finally got picked up. Freakin cold out there. It’s gone!

Blue XJ · 02-15-2021, 12:55 PM

And you got paid already via wire transfer? nice, makes for a easy transaction! On to the next flip, for yourself this time!

Yup, they paid by wire transfer. I have a flip ready to start on, but I'm going to try and knock out some work on the land rover that needs to be done, just general maintenance if I want to keep using it.

Then I'll be on to a blue 00 XJ with 100k that needs some bodywork.
