Are people just doing these auctions to get stated value comps for their insurance carrier? Or did Jon actually end up selling the car at or near that $100K price outside of eBay? Maybe he's decided to take it to BaT after Alec's car runs its course...
    I talked to him, and he said he's going to get Alec to market it for him. Maybe if it's really cleaned up and the little things are fixed, it might bring more, but after Alec's 10% cut, I doubt Jon will pocket a whole lot more than if he just did a more polished ebay presentation (after all, despite all of Alec's work, that Daytona Violet CSi that Alec was brokering was ultimate auctioned off on ebay). I didn't ask what his reserve was -- obviously somewhere between $100k and $120k.

    If it were my car, I'd have contacted the high bidder and said "hey, for $5000 more it's yours" and then sold it directly. I know the ebay police wouldn't like me saying this but that's life.

    Thanks for the very complete recap and update Mike. I'm still a bit shocked Jon didn't take the $99,950 and call it a day! How much more does he think he's going to get? a bird in the hand and all that...a very serious bird at that! I can't imagine there's *that* many collectors out there with a $100k+ to drop on a 23 year old BMW, as much as Alec would suggest. I know it's a different economy of scale that I'm sadly not a part of, but I'd be scraping to sell my lowly 840ci for $15k these days, and if I did have a hundred thousand dollars to blow on a car, I'd probably be looking at the new 8 Series, depreciation hit and all. But then if you can afford a new 8-series you can probably afford a CSi for the collection too... Not much middle ground there I'm guessing at those income levels. Well I'll be interested to see what Alec can do for an Oxford Green CSi!

    FS: 1991 BMW 850i on eBay! Auction ending tonight

    Love this car but I recently acquired a GTR and need to cut down the collection.

    Here’s my 850i on eBay. Less than 19 hours remaining.

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F302816834665

    Please help spread the word if you or anyone you know is looking for an E31. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

    Nice looking late model 5-speeder, although for such a low mileage car, it struck me as being very grubby underneath.
    Plenty of gaps in the service history record, which begs the important question....has it been well maintained?
    Needs a fastener for the intake cowling.

    Pity about the boot spoiler, which doesn't suit the car at all.

    Definitely not affiliated - especially since they've brazenly stolen a line directly from my own advert:
    "Achingly beautiful and highly sought after, this extremely rare vehicle is a worthy addition to any [omitted] collection" = my own words

    My old 850 is for sale on Ebay. It is an outstanding example. I purchased it from the original owner/business. The current owner is a great guy.

    Looks great in white, especially with the CSi aero kit & M-pars fitted.
    Has had some subtle but useful mods as well.
    A perfect, low mileage enthusiast’s car.

    Nice & very reasonable....if the story holds true! I'd love to get an "unmolested" 850, just nowhere to keep it.
