Been checking out the cars going to Barrett Scottsdale this year. I cant believe the line up, they have some nice high end cars going through and the list isnt even near complete.

Either some guys have some very very big dingle berries or theyre in the position that they have to sell.

It should be interesting to say the least IM sure some deals will be had I cant see there being enough money to support all those expensive cars. I cant wait

I would not bet against it. I was pretty impressed by the last big one. Good money for some of those cars.

We thought the same last year when they had all the GM cars with salvage or no titles at all

only a very few were "good buys" everything else went for stupid money as always ...

There will be a lot of good cars because a lot of people need to liquidate.Great time to buy.

See, i just don't think that is the overall case. I think it may even be better than last year.

I don't think anybody is liquidating. I've been looking for solid lifter, documented Chevrolets for the last year. Most of the cars for sale are questionable at best. Did you see the junk that Barrett sold in Las Vegas for huge money? Barney Fife clone squad car brought $120K.

I think great cars bring great money and this January will be no different. JMO, Ed

I think for the most part this is true. While certainly there are SOME people out there in trouble that need to liquidate they make up a small part of the hobby. However, it doesn't stop buyers from TRYING to steal good cars. I think most of them are finding that most people with these good cars may WANT to sell, but they don't HAVE to sell.

OTOH, some big money collectors are not really effected by what most of us (me anyway) would consider a major financial hit. Most of the people that are active on these old car enthusiest sites think that what WE believe and post is the general thoughts of the entire hobby, but I don't believe it. When you look at the HUGH number of cars that are sold at these auctions anually it can't be ignored. However, time and time again I see people commenting on these sites that "that is not the real market" and things like "those people are crazy to pay that." My feeling has always been that in most cases those buyers did not make all the money they are spending making bad business decisions.

I'm hoping my buddy Steve lets me drive #976 up on the stage.

I just think the quality of cars has tanked at Barrett since 06' and now you see all these good cars when the market is still down and all selling at no reserve.

I just cant see that many buyer for all those cars.. I counted numerous cars over that should be over 200k and to think thats only a partial list of what there going to have?? I agree I think the market is way better than last year and good cars are still bringing money but when you put alot of them in one spot at one time I just cant see the money lasting. There will be some SMOKIN' deals forsure! IMO
