Default Re: Motion Converted Vette/Ebay

[ QUOTE ]
There was not a official set time for any car. The estimated time for the Motion was later than estimated. Two of the ones that missed it were very close to being there on time. But when you hear the gavel bang down it is too late.

I felt the car was RUSHED through with little fanfair by unknowledgeable auctioneers that had little or no interest in seeing it bring top dollar. Wham bang and it was off the floor and out the door. It will sure make me think twice about using their service if I ever auction one of mine off.

I don't know how to describe it but the entire bidding floor all got up and left it seemed after the Olds went through. None of the cars after it brought top dollar. Odd I just don't know how to describe it.

Larry...you described it perfectly...We and a few other Y-Net members there noticed that they didn't give a crap about that car. while I was out front taking the pictures of the car as it was going into the ramp area...one of the announcers was trying to figure out what he was going to say about the car...and none of it was correct.

It was rushed across the platform and misrepresented by the Barrett Jackson annoucing crew...but I guess that's the price that you pay and the chance that you take...when you deal with them.
