Did the Alumatub go across the block? Guess I missed it....

Also didn't see JF Launier's wagon go across... waaayy more beautiful than that droopy nosed Chezam.

Alumitub went during commercial for $187 I think it was. And JF's wagon brought $220k on Tuesday.

Aluma Tub went for $170,500 and Launiers wagon for $242,000 .

You can go to Barrett Jacksons website and search the auction results for specific vehicles .

I couldn't believe how much the Beverly hillbillies car went for .

Check his post time with the time it went across the block. :whistling:

I see. Never mind.

"D'oh!"

I think the car represents a good mile-marker of the times when it was built. It was done before all the TV nonsense when he still had a good crew. The metalwork is pretty serious on the car, and it has survived well (save for the interior). I think 'Zzilla is the best, I'm not a huge fan of this car, but I thought it would be a tough one to guess, as it is hard to compare!

Kevin -- It was a good choice as many others would have been easy. Thanks for posting it up as we all had a good time with the question.

Thanks Greg, I agree it was fun.

Oh, I was totally watching when I posted. :lmao: Notice my post time and Seig's...

That's a steal! That wagon is one of my favorite cars ever. Just so clean and classy.

So in the end, how much does Pratt pay out in commission on the car if it sold for $379,500?

I'm :EmoteClueless:

i think its 10% for commission

Here's their generic statement:

saw that pratt sold 40.4 million dollars worth of cars and etc. Wow!! He did better than i thought he would. wonder if he got a sweetheart deal on commissions?

Considering the sheer dollar quantity of his spend over the years, I would be surprised if he (and some of his peers) paid full tilt. I can only guess, but I would think there is a volume discount when you spend what some of them do year after year.
Then, on the other hand, when you have THAT much money, it might be considered gauche to quibble over the fees.

Bill

i thought the buyers at auctions like barrett paid a 10% above hammer price fee.

True enough -- so let's add it all up.... stick with me here.


Hammer price $320K -- 10% for buyers commission is $32K -- added together it's $352K

Thats what i thought , i was confused at the quote of 379k$ that someone quoted earlier but maybe it wasnt in reference to this sale

Yeah - I saw that earlier. It was wrong. I think it's better to check facts before people post... especially when it's so easy. All someone has to do is got straight to BJ website and look up the car in question.

I was surprised to see so many reserve cars. I thought Craig had done away with that on all but his own cars....

And since GW is clarifying for us kids at home... BJ collects 10% from the buyer and 10% from the seller on the hammer price, correct? So the auction makes 20% on every sale.


Jeff-

8% from seller

If you thought it was a steal this time, you really would of thought it was a steal when Pratte bought it.

Wow, that's just sad. Good for him on making a good investment though. In 2010 the market for cars was in firesale mode. Things have definitely improved.

I don't think he paid 10% - B-J sold $50 Million more than last year and most of that was the Pratt Collection. Certainly the Pratt Collection created more Buzz (so much that Velocity did a 30 Minute Program strictly on Pratt) for Barrett Jackson. I've also been told, but I have not been able to confirm, that Pratt is a Silent Partner in B-J. Craig & Ron are certainly friends and have made each other a lot of money!
