Re: Barrett Jackson COPO Camaro
I realize that I do not have a dog in this hunt.
I also realize that I am a small fry in this big picture.
I also realize that no one here has any reason to take anything I say as meaningful, informed, educated or sane.
BUT, watching this ZL1 deal live, reviewing it on my DVR and watching the youtube replays and talking with numerous friends in my small circle of collectors (Mopar and Ford guys who have no dog in the hunt either), we are all not only disturbed but realize that this can't be the only incident like this. You are not going to convince me there hasn't been shill bidding and buy backs going on to keep up the prices and hype of this "NO RESERVE" circus going.
I would imagine that the average JOE who watched his car hammered in less that 90 seconds and got the experience of losing his ass on live TV, just loved watching Craig Jackson reach out to the auctioneer who after giving "fair warning" last call, I am going to ............ Grab him and say not yet!
You better be in the inner sanctum of that zoo, or you are asking to get exactly what most those folks got in this economy. A lesson in market correction.
