I'm going to sell my 69 Camaro and am ready to make the call to BOS and sell it through them. I've talked to Joe and he seems like a nice guy and knows where to price the car and where to market it. Has anyone used them or know someone who has??

Never heard of them. I surfed their site a bit. They have some nice cars, but the prices are crazy! Do they get a chunk of the sales price or charge a fee? Just thinking you might get more for it if you sold it your self. Good Luck!!

Looks like prices from 5 years ago. Maybe they've been sitting there that long.

I just looked at the site too. WOW! There are some nice cars but the prices are way out there.

They've had this camaro listed on ebay about 1000 times.

sounds like they're pretty high as far as pricing, which is not what I would want for a consignor trying to sell a car for me.

If you get into an argument with the owner about anything you WILL NOT win. He will start bragging about how much money he makes which in his mind gives him the right to belittle you and beat you down. I know guys like him and can't stand listening to their pompous arrogance.

I've both sold cars to and through Joe at BOS. I can tell you my experience has been great on both sides. He offered me fair prices for the cars he bought and he was realistic in his description and expectations of what I could expect selling through him. He made the deals happen on both fronts and I was very satisfied.

Joe has an extensive network of customers both here and abroad and if he tells you he can sell your car, he will. I truly believe him to be a man of his word and he's very solvent - he doesn't need your deal to stay afloat like some consignors.

Donaz, did you deal with him personally or just somebody you think he's like? That doesn't sound at all like the guy I've known and dealt with on multiple occasions, and I'd hate to see him get a bad rap on pure conjecture.
