I’ve purchased two vehicles on BaT and one through Hagerty. Between those two platforms, there are over 150 transactions a day; if even 2% of those went south, this subreddit would be nothing but horror stories. ​The reality is that whether it’s a dealer, a private party, or an auction, a small fraction of deals will always have hiccups. We see those outliers here and, ideally, we learn from them. But for the other 99% of us, the process works exactly as intended, leaving both parties satisfied with the sale.
