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.

Greg, I think you meant to call me Dave vs Skip. I think you know us both on here.

I may sound like I am clueless sometimes but I am aware of the game played at BJ and am very prepared to be a player and not get played if the time slot is acceptable. Let's just leave it at that for now.

I will PM you Greg.
