ENCORE: Donald Osborne on Buying Right, Selling Right, and Living Right

<p><strong>This is an encore presentation of our popular episode from October 16, 2025.</strong></p><p>Alex has a lively interview with none other than Donald Osborne (@<a href="https://bringatrailer.com/member/zagato67/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zagato67</a> on BaT): ASA accredited senior appraiser, TV personality, principal of Automotive Valuation Services, and consulting director for the Audrain Automobile Museum. They talk about BaT&#39;s start as an amalgamation of interesting POSes;  maximum impact for minimal outlay; the similarities between a car for sale and the ideal political candidacy; sage advice for sellers on BaT and elsewhere; the art of self-editing;  the right price for the wrong car; multitasking, the car guy way; ignoring one&#39;s own hard-earned advice; cars as an investment in happiness; driving Derek Drinkwater&#39;s Le Monstre replica at Goodwood; and adventures in Sicily on the old Targa Florio route. We&#39;ll have Donald back for more!</p><p><strong>Links for things mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><p>2:11   <a href="https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1960-fiat-500d-tetto-apribile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1960 Fiat 500 D Tetto Apribile</a> <em>BaT listing</em></p><p>21:45  <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1795528/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What&#39;s My Car Worth?</a> <em>IMDB</em></p><p>23:06 <a href="https://bringatrailer.com/alfa-romeo/106-series-2600/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alfa Romeo 106-Series 2600</a> <em>BaT model page</em></p><p>30:17  <a href="https://www.conceptcarz.com/gallery/15239/crosley-gardner-special.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1950 Crosley Gardner Special</a> <em>conceptcarz.com</em></p><p>31:07  <a href="https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1951-crosley-lemans-special/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1951 Crosley Le Mans Special</a> <em>BaT listing</em></p><p>33:29  <a href="https://bringatrailer.com/lamborghini/islero/">Lamborghini Islero</a> <em>BaT model page</em></p><p>52:06 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKWt8WZd3_Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Path Imperfect: Porsche and the Targa Florio</a> <em>PCA YouTube channel</em></p><p>56:40 <a href="https://www.audrainconcours.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audrain Newport Concours &amp; Motor Week</a></p><p>57:24  <a href="https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997-chevrolet-monte-carlo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ex–Jeff Gordon 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR Winston Cup Race Car</a> <em>BaT listing</em></p><p>57:48  <a href="https://www.audrainautomuseum.org/audrain-event-calendar/veteran-car-tour-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Veteran Car Tour</a></p><p>58:36  <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://ansg.org/event/7th-annual-sculpture-in-motion/&ved=2ahUKEwja0diIzKeQAxVcEDQIHXmfAqAQFnoECCEQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0vi_FtiNdtQnUL9f-AeQq_" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sculpture in Motion</a></p><p><strong>Got suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community or One Year Garage episode?
