Also, consider that all BJ cars must be offered at no reserve. So, you have no guarantee of getting the price you might expect.
Note the CSX 7000 that sold for $110K, $92K to the seller. Doesn't compare particularly well to other CSX 7000 sales elsewhere. Seller probably expected more.

I always base yields on the hammer price. For a hammer price of 10,000:
Buyer pays 11000 (+10%, 1.1xHammer)
Seller gets 9200 (-8%, .92xHammer)
I can attest to the no reserve. I wanted reserve on my GT and they were doing it for the last time, and I traded no reserve for extremely good placement, still only got about 2/3 of their estimate.
I too would have thought CSX7010 would have gotten more. It's a pretty good deal, but the paint job might have turned people off - for 110K I could get it repainted and still be happy.
