Default Re: Declining collector car market ??

The auction Im talking about wasnt Mecum. It was a private collection sold by I believe Russo. Its in this months Old Car Magazine. As for Dana I like the guy just question what they do sometimes?? and yes he does have the luxury of picking good cars why do you think he gets such killer cars at his auctions? Its because he is a good guy and is personable and the fact he has a reserve and the guys with good cars know theyre safe doesnt hurt anything either. But putting 5 LS6 Chevelles and 10 Z28 Camaros and so on at every sale is just insane too me, why not spead it out and make the guys that want them really bid? Your not going to bid to get the first couple Z28s if you know 10 more are coming up behind it thats just common sense. And alot of the guys at sales dont know how to pick up a magazine and buy a car that way, so the only way they get theyre cars are at the sales and they will pay if they think there is only 1 or 2 of the car they want Supply and Demand 101. I dont know to many dealers that will pay record prices unless its known as the best of the best, or there is a huge feeding frenzy of a certain type of car. Thats just how I see maybe Im wrong but to me to much of 1 thing just isnt good.
