I wish you the best of luck.:thumbsup:

Thanks and that sucks what happened to you. But I have not signed anything that locks me in to anything. I would never have signed anything without an offered time slot.

I am pretty certain I will be saying no them next week when they say no we cannot move you to Fri or Sat primetime.

A couple of things about auctions -- and these no reserve auctions are not for the faint of heart... and while a few get lucky and get their asking and then some - many more are giving cars away.

A couple of things you might think about == Some guys have "slots" that could be "had".... depending on whether or not you're really serious about selling your car... The other is - that unless there are at least TWO or more people wanting your car - even if a guy was willing to pay more... if nobody is bidding against him - he can't get the price up by himself (you can't bid against yourself after all)... The pros have "friends" - they'll 'bump' a guy... or if they're big time sellers and buyers - the auction will toss in a "phantom bid". Don't be fooled -- to these folks - you're a nobody - and they're not there to help you out. If you're a regular - they know what you "need" for a car - and will "work" to get it there.

We can talk via PM / Email if you want...

DO NOT run a car on SUNDAY or THURSDAY either.... and if you want my humble opinion - this is most likely NOT the year to be taking a chance on a no reserve auction unless you know how they work.

:cheers:

Very well put.

Okay so I emailed my Barrett Jackson rep back tonite and told him thanks but no thanks unless I can get a primetime Fri or Sat lot #.

I even pointed out this "pro-touring" 69 Camaro that is on their Friday lineup. Not talking trash at all, but it's a carbed stroker big block (looks nice), M-22 trans (really?), and leaf springs with no mini-tub. I told them to switch this car to Sunday and give me his Friday time slot. I'm sure that will go over well. :lol: This is probably one of those cars where the seller is a dealer/seller is a repeat BJ customer and is getting some preferential treatment. That's my guess.

I disagree a bit about market strentgh. Vegas was strong, Camaros brought 50% more then they were worth. Part of the reason your not getting primetime numbers is lots of people rushing to get in because of Vegas numbers. The cars selling at Vegas for $100K we $60K car on their best days!

My phone has been very busy with car inquiries, people looking for cars. And this morning there are 5 inquiries for builds for the shop. The market is stronger then ya think but it is narrow. E bay, I think the shine has come off E Bay a bit

I go to BJ Scottsdale every year and Russo & Steele. R&S is a smaller auction with a mix of cars from drivers to exotics. Their fees are more reasonable and you might get a better deal there (than Sunday at BJ).

Wouldn't hurt to check.

Before you go to any auction you need to have a # in your head that you will take not what you think it will sell for. Because once you get there you'll have every Tom, Dick and Harry telling you the car is worth way more. Don't get sucked into that and stick to your original amount. Your expectations will be much more justified when you leave. Of course you can get lucky and have 2 or more people wanting the car and it can go north in a hurry. But for the most part all the buyers there are very educated and know how much money was spent to put the car together.

Made that mistake as well. You just can't beat the shear number of "buyers" at Barrett's. Russo, Mecum, R&M, etc just don't compare.
