Are there any good Houston area consignment dealers that sell specifically on Bring a Trailer?

I have a couple of cars I need to sell that are probably good candidates for BAT, but don't have the time to manage that process right now.

TIA

Not helpful, but BAT is going to take 10%, The lister is probably going to take 10%. Probably needs to be something pretty special that wouldn't be easy to sell on FB marketplace or somewhere else for 20% off retail.

BaT charges a $99 listing fee to the seller. For an additional fee, BaT will photograph the car. Buyer pays 5% (capped at $7,500) on automobiles.

You're right. It's 10% for tractors. My mistake.

Go to their website and click on sell, then look for "local partners". There are 2 in Houston

I've sold 2 cars on Bat with great results. Really loved the process. Wish I could help but I'm in Austin area.

Just curious... how difficult was the documenting process? What did you sell if you would share?

Does a car have to be running to sell on there?

We have this but needs a little bit of love. Potentially selling within the next year

Selling that other 4-door Sedan? I think I bought the Cadillac from you a few years ago and have thought about reaching out a few times when I would get the upgrade itch.

Is it a manual???

Really nothing hard about getting it listed. Some people do think they can just list anything. While they have greatly widened their criteria for getting on BaT, you still have to get accepted.

Lots of engagement, lots of honesty, and really good pics and videos will get you a good number. I enjoyed the whole process.

One a family owned, looks clean. What all does it need? Would probably do well on BaT if it runs

Click on results, view all, to see what different condition cars went for.
