Default Re: Barrett-Jackson 2010 WOW!!

I don't think anybody is liquidating. I've been looking for solid lifter, documented Chevrolets for the last year. Most of the cars for sale are questionable at best. Did you see the junk that Barrett sold in Las Vegas for huge money? Barney Fife clone squad car brought $120K.

I think great cars bring great money and this January will be no different. JMO, Ed

I think for the most part this is true. While certainly there are SOME people out there in trouble that need to liquidate they make up a small part of the hobby. However, it doesn't stop buyers from TRYING to steal good cars. I think most of them are finding that most people with these good cars may WANT to sell, but they don't HAVE to sell.

OTOH, some big money collectors are not really effected by what most of us (me anyway) would consider a major financial hit. Most of the people that are active on these old car enthusiest sites think that what WE believe and post is the general thoughts of the entire hobby, but I don't believe it. When you look at the HUGH number of cars that are sold at these auctions anually it can't be ignored. However, time and time again I see people commenting on these sites that "that is not the real market" and things like "those people are crazy to pay that." My feeling has always been that in most cases those buyers did not make all the money they are spending making bad business decisions.
