Default Re: Kevin Hand Collector Car Collection at Auction

Where do I start...You are delusional. Your actions at the auction were affected by alcohol as evidenced by you throwing beer on people in the stands during the auction. Yes I read where Lopata said something to the effect that we over here were just sore that we paid 155K for the Berger COPO but missed out on your Gold Yenko for 175K. Could he be more wrong ? That was my Berger RS COPO so I guess I didn't miss out on it. The buyer of the Berger RS COPO also bought your Yenko so MR Lopata only missed it by a mile. You say you would have done better at Barrett-Jackson. Barrett-Jackson sold two COPO Camaro's for right about 100K so are you sure you would have done better over there ? COPO Camaro's aren't bringing what they used to. There were only two bidders at the end on my COPO and the guy that didn't win it had not even looked at it up close but he also has a double COPO and said he thought that was a good price. You and I are both lucky to have the buyer that we had and his name isn't Carlson. And "Carlson" does not need any help buying cars. Contrary to what you, Mr Lopata and a couple others think, Olympic gold is not a first choice for someone that is looking to buy a Yenko and I would bet money that if your car had been blue or orange it would have brought more money. A good auctioneer knows when they are down to the only real money and drops the hammer. I also wish I had gotten more money but the money wasn't there and I don't think it was at Barrett-Jackson either. You can try to act like you were scammed but you weren't. The car was heavily advertised so everyone knew it would be there for sale yet they weren't bidding. So was my car but they weren't bidding. Your car was for sale just like mine at "No Reserve" Both our cars sold at "No Reserve" Blaming others is looking in the wrong direction.
