When you're selling a car do you charge $350 per viewer to LOOK at it? Do you make others stand 150 ft. back and pay $100 to LOOK at it?
Do you have trained monkeys in the crowd who have been taught how to say the right things to increase your buyers' enthusiasm and heighten the emotion around the sale of your car?
Do you put it on a stage with bright lights and celebs in order to DRIVE the bids to an unbelievably inflated price?
Do you have a bunch of cheerleaders, including "Satan of the Car Hobby," screaming for the potential buyers to up their bids?

Mac, I think you're missing my point. Craig Jackson isn't making anyone play by his rules
against their will . Again, if a seller didn't like the way the B-J is run then it's up to the seller not to participate. Think of the radio dial: If you don't like what's on then select another station. Can't find anything worth listening to? Switch it off. It's your choice whether you sit and listen or not.
I'm not necessarily defending B-J rules here. Yeah, I can see why some guys don't like Craig Jackson's auction hysterics for helping make our beloved cars unaffordable to us but all he's doing is taking advantage of normal market forces and then adding a little showmanship. High prices for muscle cars were unavoidable and Craig Jackson is merely the smart businessman who saw it coming and started the auction craze.
The Super Bowl is next weekend and one team is gonna' win and the other team is gonna' lose. Place your bets wisely!
