Barrett Jackson - Scottsdale
 

Who's planning on going to this over-priced sales nightmare this year?:D

I am!

I figure I'll go Friday all day and Saturday all day.... Will be in Scottsdale on Thursday morning is my plan. I'll have to take Adrienne (my ASU daughter) out for a bit of shopping etc...

Yea i was going to go ............. then i realized it was the same weekend we had booked to go to Paris........ so i guess im out. :lol:
i think Bret V will be there.??

there's a road rally type thing on Saturday the 15th that a few local F-body guys and I will be a part of

It looks like i will be skipping the event. Just to much going on.

Thats what I like to hear Rodger.

What a bunch of pussies!


Paris over BJ auction! Work over playing!


Man.... I had no idea what kinda "guys" I was hangin' with!


:rofl:

But I do need to go out and campaign to be voted in to get that crown your wearing currently.

But if you add the Gullwing doors to that project your working on, They might let you keep that crown for 2 years in a row. :D :D :D :D

Not all of us are under worked and over paid. Or 4 foot 11 for that matter either.

You may not be Tall, Dark, or Handsome, but you have the one thing that trumps all those qualities any day of the week. MUUUULLLLLAAAAAA

[QUOTE=ironworks;322993]But I do need to go out and campaign to be voted in to get that crown your wearing currently.

if you have to "campaign " its not worth having !

[QUOTE=kennyd;322996]Well I will never get it on my own merits, So campaigning is all I have left.

Who's going to tend the picks 'em up truck at BJ if you're not there? Want me to run it thru for ya?? :D

I was going,but now have decided to have a root canal done.:lol:Having dental work done can't be as painful as listening to Craig Jackson say this is the last muscle car on the planet or this car is way under the money.

You to,..... I was headed to Amsterdam that week also:D

Good decision!

You guys are making me rethink going! LOL
If Adrienne wasn't down there.... I'm CERTAIN I wouldn't go.

You're just going for the brownies.

The Mecum Auction here in Orlando was so strong last year, and the fact it is local to us, and there is a reserve, most of my friends in the game have most of their stuff running here the week after Barrett at Mecum. We have association or ownership of 4 cars going through, so I will be pretty busy getting final details ready for that.

So no Barrett Jackson for me this year.

My oh My how fast this auction is losing it's luster!

It kind of reminds me of the housing bubble.... when prices were the highest there were MULTIPLE BIDS.... and sometimes you had buyers paying more than the asking price... but once they FELL 50%... NOBODY wants to buy them.

WTF.... how up-side-down is that?

In the arena I play in - it's supposed to be buy low, sell high.... :unibrow:

I will be going, but since Im a pee'on I will just be a spectator...

I would like to go over to Russo and Steele. I believe its the same weekend and they have some very nice metal over there.

hahaha that probably suits you better anyway :_paranoid :_paranoid

I'm just a peeon like chuck so if I do go it'll be for the car show and to meet some folks!

Anyone wanna wager how long before BJ goes back to being a reserve auction? 1 year? Never?

Given the decline in the quality of cars I've seen in just the last two years.... I'd say they'd better go back to reserve THIS TIME!

LOL

REALLY.... I was MAJOR disappointed in most of the crap they had to offer last year.

As long as they keep getting consignors, I doubt it's even a consideration.

BJ LV had a lot more cars this year then last year. We'll have to wait to see how many they book for Scottsdale compared to last year.

Since they recently added Orange Co. I would think they would just drop an event before they go back to a reserve, as they hold that as they're claim to fame.

JMO. :)

There's lots of FORCED SELLERS in the market.... everyone that lost their job - spent too much on a house - used their house as a ATM to build a car etc.... once that works through the market my bet is things change. In the meantime - it's a great time to buy.

Agreed, it's not the sort of change that they are likely to make proactively. I'm sure the consignments will have to drop before they start offering reserves again, but it seems to me that may happen sooner than later.

Hey Greg
Houstons ribs are as good as ever. I'm up for dinner if you are

Tonny

Tonny --- You're on!

But you'll have to like pick me up in something bright red and German....

Tonny ---



2011 S63 AMG

so is it here now Greg? I thought delivery got pushed back...

It's in LA and being shipped from MBZ of Beverly Hills to my dealer. Should be my house in time to drive down to BJ!!!!



EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA

Okay -- so it's raining a cloudy here so we abandoned the pool....


James --

The long story is -- my dealer couldn't get a fixed delivery date earlier than March -- and was trying to "dealer trade" in the meantime. That wasn't working out. One day - Alex says - "dude!... go on line and check out some of the other big dealers..." Good advice from #1 son! So I found one at MBZ of BV.... bought it over the phone... all set -- deposit done... prepping wire transfer... long and short - it was "promised" to a regular customer the day before... it just wasn't taken off inventory the next morning when I had called them (9:00AM when they opened!).... no biggie -- they had another one coming on the 19th -- and better yet -- the one coming had the AMG Performance Package.. DONE! So just waiting for it to ship up! :woot:

Beat on it!!

Tracy,

Im going to have it at RTTC and The Pozzi's have agreed to wing it and beat on it... David is going to drive it on the road course and Mary is going to wing it around the auto X.... She's agreed to only say "Stick you prissy Bit... ch!"

EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA


I can only imagine riding in the back seat -- with a hurl bag!

Greg I'll see you out there bud..... My wife and I are coming out for the week.

Greg and Tonny...I will be at both auctions like usual. I really enjoyed the get together we had last year.

I pick up my credentials on 1/12 (BJ) and 1/19 (R & S). I hope to see you both out there. let me know if you want to get together :cheers:

Bruce

Bruce..There is a auction at the Pavillions this weekend.

What? Tell me more...

Does it have something to do with the new Car Museum that's there now?

I haven't been to Pavillions in a while...damn work keeps getting in the way! :D

It's why Charley doesn't work. It kept interfering with his social life.
:lateral: :cheers: :woot:
