Default What is best venue for selling an Alpina?

I have always wondered what is the best venue/site/method for selling an exclusive/rare/unusual Alpina, (aren't they all?) Particularly when the Alpina in question is an older mid - 80s model.

I talked with Lawrence Romanosky (1982 B7S Turbo Coupe #14, Canada) at the BMW CCA Legends of the Autobahn show in Carmel/Monterey last August (Lawrence R., myself and the the new B7S #14 owner, Mark R. were there as well has both B7S #14 and B7S #25) about selling his B7S Turbo Coupe. Lawrence said that any purchase interest expressed privately from the various Alpina clubs/boards was very minimal. Lawrence felt it was courteous to first offer the B7S for sale to internet board members since he had published the B7S renovation so openly on internet sites. After very little serious private response he subsequently listed the B7S on the BAT site and then eBay after which it sold quickly.

Any selling input from past experience?
