BaT has the most uneducated auditorium I have ever seen. Prices for good stuff are just exorbitant and prices for crap are still higher than anyplace else. People who really know what they are looking at (there are a few) do not get involved in the bidding for two reasons: Good cars are being bid into the stratosphere by people who have money to throw around and get carried away by testosterone spurts and crap will cost more to rework than the car is worth after the process is finished. While the presentation is extensive and driving videos are standard, you are still bidding on a car on-line and unless you physically see and inspect it, it is not a smart thing to do. There are a few really problematic areas on any W113 that is in excess of 50 years old and they are never being addressed as far as I can see.
