Just don't get the draw of those sites. It's fun to window shop I suppose (or to get a pulse on a specific market) and every once in a very long while you can get a deal, but most of the interesting stuff has a reserve and the fees are preposterous.
The most enjoyable part of car hunting is the search. Why would I pay 4.5 to 5% to someone else for that? Georgia already has high vehicle taxes, so I have to tack on 11-12% plus shipping onto the hammer price.
Definitely a good racket to be in though. Between that site and his YouTube back catalog, DeMuro can probably retire. The original BaT guys made out like bandits as well.
