Default Re: 68 yenko

I wouldn't call what they did "bidding" more like blatant shilling. Had a customer who told me to go to $200k on the Billigen car, I thought far less than that should have got it done and was told the reserve was in the $140k range - car hits the block and Tom from TnT Go Cars apparently convinced Robin Billigen the car was worth $500k and told R&S to run it well past $300k. They opened the car at $200k as I recall and put it right to the moon, not a live bid in sight. Something transpired between Tom, Robin, and R&S to change the reserve or somehow protect the car.

I stood there with Mockingbird and Ed Montini and we all just went into a state of shock.

Great car, glad to see Robin has taken back control of the sale of her car. My customer ended up buying the 5k mile, 100% untouched original L89 Vette I bought at the same sale for less money, same color even
