The easiest way to shatter a man's ago and even make him spend money he doesn't even have is to have a pretty girl say to him "What's the matter, can't you afford it?" This is a very powerful, wallet-thinning sentence that is taught to women at an early age. Remember in 5th grade when the teacher separated the boys and girls one day for a "special lesson"? Well.......this is what was taught to the girls at an early age in order for them to get what they want from men for the rest of their lives. Amy is a Master at this and highly skilled. She is capable of getting much more money out of a man than say........that other B-J strangely-excited fellow that works the crowd with the high-pitched women's voice.

That's the best explanation I've ever heard as to why these guys sometimes pay double what a car is worth. I was at the Mecum Auction in St. Charles a few weeks ago, and noticed a lot of guys talking about the dark haired 20-something girl that was working the stage, getting the sign-offs from the buyers.

When the Musclecar market gets even lower in the next year or two, Mecum or Barrett-Jackson will resort to girls in bikinis working the crowd while scantily clad bimbos are swinging around brass poles up on the stage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Me too!

I was out in the mid-west a few weeks ago and they sure know how to combine various interests into one location for maximum monetary manipulation. I went out to pick up a few pizzas for the boys and while waiting for them to make the pies, I heard a buzzing sound from the room next door. I asked the waitress what it was and she replies: "Oh, it's discount tattoo night." I look in the next room and see a Rubenesque woman getting a tramp stamp while leaning over in the middle of the bar room. To put it nicely, she had waaaaay too much canvas to work with. Turns out the pizza place was also a bar and a tattoo parlor all in one.

Nothing like a little entertainment with your order! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Barrett-Jackson Vegas
 

It's not too common, but I think we've all seen a car or two go across the auction block where the owner hired some girls to stand with the car, display documentation, show a little leg, etc. While it ain't a BAD thing to have something to watch, especially if you're not interested in the car (heck, that's the main reason to watch a Dallas Cowboys home game, for the cheerleader shots https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif ), I always feel a little insulted, like the owner of the car feels they can drive the price higher by adding a couple pretty girls next to their car. This doesn't honestly work, does it? I mean, I can understand adding pretty girls at a car show to gain attention, but has this ever driven the price higher on a car at an auction? Please tell me this doesn't actually work...if it does, I've lost some respect for Musclecar guys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

I can it all now....the stage goes dark....then red spotlights hit 6 strippers on stage....they do some erotic dancing for about 30 seconds....then....BOOM!...explosions on each side of the stage...the stage goes dark...then spotlights hit a 1970 Superbird...3 strippers laying on the hood, one in the drivers seat, and one riding the rear wing like a pony...

And if that Superbird gets 50% more than another Superbird at the auction, it will open the floodgates. The following year, the Barrett-Jackson auction will then become a combination of a classic car auction and a Victoria's Secret show. The Saturday night portion of the auction will have a PG-13 rating when shown on SpeedTV.

And that's when I'll start taping the auctions. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Bill, is that why you were standing by the Chevelles in Indy?
Dana had you be the eye candy for the potential buyers.
