About
BATRANK is a lead provider of car auction data. We identity and surface interesting car listings
for buyers, sellers, and car enthusiasts in general. We also provide insights to help our users
discover hidden gems and make research-based decisions on whether to buy or sell.
The idea for BATRANK came after spending countless hours browsing listings on Bring a Trailer and
Cars and Bids, sharing them with our friends, and having endless conversations about unique and
interesting cars.
We excitedly debated auction trends, argued about whether a listing was a good deal, and dared
each other to bid on a dream car or some bizarre thing on wheels. At the core of it all was
something just as important as the cars, community.
Our vision is to increase the size and influence of the car enthusiast community and car culture
at large. Quite grand, we admit, but we believe the best way to do so is by supercharging organic
discovery and data analysis of interesting cars. At least, that is the first step.

How do you calculate appreciating/depreciating model?
We use a proprietary algorithm that evaluates whether a model is experiencing
statistically-significant appreciation or beyond-average depreciation on a YoY basis.
How do you calculate good value?
Good Value
We assess the sales prices of listings with the same make and model in the recent past
to determine whether a listing was sold, at the time, at a good value. We also account
for the mileage-based depreciation of the current listing and the past listings it's
being compared with.
What qualifies as a sale for the Top Sellers rankings?
Only listings that end in a successful sale to a bidder. Reserve not met listings do not
qualify.
