Canoes Selling on “BAT” Car Auction Site

Thank you Benson; that’s amazing information.

The new owner says he does plan to use the canoe other than to display it in his home. It will be interesting to see what the other one sells for. Sometimes the prices are quite astounding.
 
Good question Gerrish. Prior to BAT, had any Ford Bronco (a perfectly nice vehicle) sold for $100,000? It seems now they regularly do.
 
The buyer has responded in the comments section saying "My top bid went from 5k to 9K. Not sure how that happened" so this may not really reflect the current market.

WOW, clearly there are some folks with money these days, I am surprised.

And how did/have I never heard of this site before? This could be dangerous. :)

Or maybe not.

A couple of comments.

If this is aimed for the car-collector or mahogany-and-varnish crowds, many of them don't know the canoe market, or maybe just don't care. Just ask some of our members who have been approached at higher-end shows.

The other thing is that this was a fundraiser for the Tahoe Maritime Museum, whose supporters have deep pockets, and again may not care about the canoe market when its something they want and they feel good about where the money goes. Happens at the Antique Boat Museum and others as well.
