Wow, that was an interesting Saturday night. A lot of serious dollars was spent on some serious iron. Without a doubt there were some nice rides going across the block. It was also good to see that some REAL money was raised for some outstanding causes. It was a pleasure to see Fisher House get that type of money and exposure.
As there was a lot of money that was spent on some interesting and cool cars, there was also the other side where it was buyers market so to speak. Some cars didn't command the big bucks people thought and there are valid reasons why. See the thread in the Supercar Discussion section.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...e=0&fpart=1 Was it low prices or buy backs, time will tell. My take on some of the perceived "low values" is that when you add the cost of the buyer and seller's commission you really are not too far off on what the market value on some of these cars really is. Just my two cents.
Anyway getting back to the deal of the day.......to me it was a high dollar car that should of brought more than what it did and it was pretty obvious the boys @ BJ knew it too when they basically stopped the auction to try and raise the price. The guy that bid 300K was the guy that ended up with the car but seemed to be a bit PO'ed when Greg Jackson intervened and brought the show to a halt. It was the Duesenberg.

Not that I have that Charley type of coin to spend on a ride but if I did that was one to get. Although it went for a high price, from what I have seen from similar other previous sales there was a lot of money left on the block~
