The upsides to these marketplaces are obvious: easy access to great cars, curated listings, and quick responses from sellers. But what are the downsides? Why are people apprehensive about these auction sites, and are they right to be?

The thing that sets Donut apart from other car youtube channels is the effort they put into EVERYTHING. They didn't have to make a hilarious mini Jurassic park movie for their Omaze ad, they didn't have to script a fake zoom meeting for Nolan to tell us he scrolls through bring-a-trailer when he's at work, and they didn't have to write a whole pretty good sounding song with a music video to show us their new hat; but they did all of it because they know their audience loves this stuff, and that makes them amazing. Never change Donut Media

Their ads are getting better and better. You can make a movie with them all.
Just bought a 1995 Jeep Cherokee Country off BAT and could not be happier with the experience. Having enthusiast comment during the auction was a huge help that allowed me to find out things about the car I would not have known to look for. This helped make me feel at ease. It’s the community that makes these auctions work. Tons of pictures is a plus and the videos make it easier to get a feel for condition. Having a seller that responded quickly to user questions was huge as well. As an added bonus we picked the car up and drove it cross country and made a vacation out of it.

I've sold on Bring A Trailer. I have nothing but good things to say about the experience. I'd previously tried to sell the car on Autotrader, and got nothing but lowballers who thought pricing should be something they got from a Blue Book type valuation site. Mine was sensibly, but very modded. No comparison to an average car of it's type, and only 50k on the odo of a 16 year old car of which I was the original owner. The best part is that BaT doesn't fleece the seller. If you have something special, and BaT will only list interesting cars, then I'd recommend it. My tip is to keep a close eye on your listing, and answer all questions quickly and honestly.
Love these kind of videos
Having purchased via Bring A Trailer, it was a solid experience and the most straight forward car purchase ever. I won the auction, we were instantly put in contact via BaT, met up, I gave him cash, done deal. EDIT: It is a project car but perfectly drivable and made the 4 hour drive home. Shout out to the VW community as a newcomer. Apparently just driving an old VW gives you a pass to the Cool Club.
You guys make way better quality commercials than actual commercial directors. I bet the production cost is also way way less. Keep it up!
When James was talking during the camp hat part, I got old school Budweiser commercial vibes from it
Ayee good man looking at the ZHP. Just bought one a few months ago and I love it!

The part about cars rising in value after prices not changing for a while is exactly what's happening to 90s JDM cars right now. Especially Miatas and 240s.
The song was Fire! James does it again
Bro that her song 🤣. You guys add spots and related content are 🔥🔥🔥
Nolan, I like your videos. Keep em coming.
You guy’s should start your own ad company 😂 The only ads I would watch
I swear to got the budget for these Omaze commercials is bigger than the budget for the actual videos
This was a fun ad, it looked like everyone had a good time filming it. good job guys
The ads at the beginning of these videos are the best. James actually pulls off John Hammond really well.
Already one of my favorite Donut videos 😍 Are you kidding me, Daddy Doug, Reality Check, Speculation Zone, T-Rex and Camo Hat all in one episode??
That add is quite litraly better than anything Oscar nominated
Yo Nolan, good timing for this video. I just won an AE86 in MINT condition off of Bring a Trailer for 40K. A little much, but to be fair it did still have the original cassette player from the factory! I couldn't be happier, been hunting one of those for ages.
The BAT topic was fine but the two ads in this video were AMAZING... Jurassic Park and The camohat song were epic. Best ads I’ve seen since the 2015 Super Bowl.
"The thing about reality, it always gets checked😎" lmaaaaaao Nolan that was hilarious

I just finished the transaction to sell my car through Cars & Bids today! It sold on the site a couple weeks ago, and the buyer came by today to pick it up and finish the deal. The listing process through C&B was tremendously thorough, and the car was sold for a bit more than I was hoping for. The buyer was very communicative the whole time through. I also felt that if anything went awry, then C&B would be able to assist in the most appropriate way. Their vetting process for selling makes me confident as a buyer, and I feel that the professionalism of the auction site brings more legitimate, serious buyers, as well. I am sold for the car auction site world, and I will be using C&B to buy and sell cars in the future!

I got my 996 turbo from BaT. I was the high bidder on RNM but they put me in touch with the seller and we worked out a deal. I'm pretty likely to buy from one of these sites again. I also enjoy the eye candy on there and seeing cool cars that I may have not been aware of. I like the price trends as well, and while these are generally the higher end of the market at least the data is published. You never know what things actually sell for on craigslist or fb since the final prices aren't listed.
Love your work Nolan
