Help With Selling #1 Car at Auction - Mecum Indy?

[Vern B]

Really good information and strategies, thank's.

Do you consider taking a chance and letting it go to "The Bid Goes On"?

Obviously, it's best to sell it on the block, but I also understand Mecum may negotiate to the point of eliminating the sellers fee during this last chance option. That's probably not a huge thing, as it relates to the entire transaction, but on a high dollar car it could be a factor.

Maybe the "mood" is broken by letting the buyers walk, but they do seem to sell a lot of vehicles after they cross the block.

I was looking for an older truck at the recent Kissimmee auction. Several I was interested in, that were a little above my price, sold a day, or two later.

I'm ok with hanging out for another day or so to sell the car if it doesn't sell on the block, but I have to get back to Korea, so my time is somewhat limited. Good input, though, and glad to hear that many cars sell after they roll off the block.

Thanks
