Anyone know how to delete this for sale listing? I am going to list the car on BAT and they want exclusivity. When I click on edit, there is no option I can see to delete it.
Thanks,
Tom

Don’t know if you can delete it, but you should be able to change the thread title to something like “No longer available”

Actually somewhat more since BAT made up the difference between the high bid and my reserve.

Congrats Tom
Do you have the original engine number for the register? Should be engraved on the vin plate under the hood.
