I have seen some of the big dollar cars, that were in the tent, currently for sale in the local paper. When I called on them, they were all were buy backs, at big bucks.

So let me understand this correctly.....you call the number listed in the newspaper ad, the seller has no idea who you are, and he readily volunteers that he bought his own car back at the auction What do they stand to gain by volunteering that information?

PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THAT BUYBACK RATIO. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW CARS I THOUGHT THE PRICES WERE DOWN FROM LAST YEAR. 2 65 VETTES 396/425 CARS FOR 70K AND 82K,68 HEMI GTX 60K?,BOSS302 FOR 51K,SIX PACK SUPER BEE ON SUNDAY FOR 60K? THAT CAR WAS OUTTA THIS WORLD! HE HAD TO BUY BACK THAT ONE! JMO THE LIST GOES ON GUYS.

Its still the best auction on the planet for collector cars. The street rods seem to struggle. I thought most cars did well, some very well and then some not as well. Typical I would suspect. I'd be leary about taking a high dollar street rod there unless its a famous car (Chezoom, Whatthehey, etc.). All in all a real fun place with alot of cool cars.

Don I think we should consider that the buyers on some of those cars were smarter than we give them credit for...a lot of people bring stuff there trying to hit a home run when it may have a lot of issues that a wise bidder would stay away from...just because it is at BJ or any other auction doesn't mean its a great car.

More women are registering to bid there each year too.
