No fault to BaT on that.

I can see a situation where the seller approves the listing (April 16th) and doesn't see the listing live right away. A buyer shows up and the process of negotiating a sale begins and a deal is struck. BUT - as a seller - I never consider a car sold until I see the taillights moving away (even on a transporter) and I'm holding the money. A day or two can make the difference and suddenly you have a car go live that just traded hands. I don't think anyone is a bad guy when that happens but I agree it's the bad news if you moved assets around to bid on the car. Of course - while the bidding is going on it's premature to move your assets because you never know if there's a deeper pocket lurking in the crowd.
