I think that one of the keys to going to Barrett (or any other auction) is to be honest with yourself about your expectations and not to get to caught up in the games that some folks play there. Before you even make the decision to head to BJ you have to accept that the car is going to sell. The notion that you can always eat the fees and buy it yourself if you don't make the number is great but if you really think that is your backup plan then you're not being realistic with your expectations - the math doesn't work. It's up to you to do your best and you're off to a great start with a good spot and a great car. Bret V, for example! did a lot of marketing before and at the show with the RideTech Camaro and it paid dividends. Make an effort, maximize your exposure and move on to the next car.

My choice was to completely re-do the car - top to bottom - or move on to something different. I think in your mind once you're done - you're done.
Truer words have rarely been spoken Mr. Weld. Love the nomad - very cool car - but it kind of pales in comparison to what came after - you have to love progress!
