Supply and demand....way to many cars available at Barrrett Jackson, not to mention all the deals on the private market. It's a tough time to sell anything.

Once again, you're clueless!

People are lossing their asses? Who? What car? People keep taking their cars there because they ARE getting good money.

No clue. Not my thing, fastforward right by it.

I'm not saying all go high.

I will agree with Mark in this respect--Nobody forces the seller to show up or the buyer to purchase!! After watching about 14 hrs of this spectacle--It still is amazing and more power to those involved(except the commercials!!!!!!):unibrow:

Well -- Trust me -- I'm HERE and have friends with approximately 60 cars running -- and they are NOT happy... Sales are "weak"... bid on many cars are tough. Some are going nicely.

Yes - you are right in that nobody forces a seller to bring a car to BJ - or any other auction... and many times in the PAST most got a nice bid on their cars... but the past is just that.

It's GAMBLING to put your car in a no reserve auction... and unless you're a "somebody" you're not going to get a prime time number. If you think you are - you're very uneducated about how this all works.

Frank --- The old bird in the hand... you did the right thing -- and yes - "your" car was FILTHY. There was nobody there 'pimpin' it either. You want top dollar for your cars at a venue like this - somebody has to be there BEFORE it rolls to discuss it and help the bidders be confident. Charley got good money for his cars -- because he was there "selling"....

The atmosphere strikes me more on the "bargain hunting" and there feels like -- okay - it's BJ - but "ho hum"... maybe I'll buy something -- but not really any big deal. The weather is cold - it's too hot inside and too cold outside... but DEFINITELY more people here today than yesterday by twice! The outdoor vendors have just gotten their asses handed to them. One guy I talked to lost 20 GRAND in inventory... had virtually zero sales until today - and was really really bummed...

There are some really nice cars here this year - and that actually might be the reason that sales numbers don't seem to be outstanding... because there's a lot to choose from - if you know what I'm saying. Remember too - that it takes TWO or more bidders to run up the price - and there seems to be a real lack of multiple bidders - but the night is still young!
