Default Re: Barrett Jackson.....

We all know (I hope) that the free mkt. is self-correcting. All we have to do is watch it.

HERE'S my question: Why would any seller resort to an auction unless he had already exhausted all other possibilities? Why not try Hemmings, Epay or whatever first? In fact to maximize your selling price just how would you make sure you got your car in front of the potentially very small pool of buyers?

Example - All buyers have different motives for buying whatever they buy. I have very personal memories of certain cars that would make them more valuable to me. A couple pretty good examples went across the BJ stage but I wasn't there. I couldn't bid. How could the owner have gotten that particular car in front of me? If we can answer that maybe we can start our own business.....let's see.... what would be a good name for this venture????
