To me Barrett Jackson is an entertainment event. Everyone selling cars there took a risk and knew this up front. The risk for some out weighed the reward. Instead of focusing on the negative, look at the great deals that were found.

At this point many sellers/dealer will reevaluate the risk/ reward of a no reserve auction. I anticipate other competing auctions such as RM and Russo-Steele will rapidly expand due to sellers/dealers no longer wanting the risk associated with no reserve auctions.

Would I, or do I need to sell a car at an auction no. There are plenty of avenues to sell a car. If your car has true pedigree or is a well built resto-mod you should have infinite opportunities thru the internet or boards such as this.

It kinda made me laugh when a sale of the survivor 69 Z28 sold last year at BJ for $211K and many thought this was now the norm. One sale doesn't set the standard for all future sales.

Will I go to Barrett Jackson in the future, absolutely. It is amazing for its entertainment value, and lots of fun being with fellow enthusiasts.
