If there were better offers on the cars why not let the reserve not met and move them to those people after the auction? For me personally I would have been all over the lemans car at that price but after seeing the estimates mecum listed I made the assumption they were gonna get that kind of money so I moved on to something else.

Qualified buyers that make solid offers, don't take kindly to being treated like an insurance policy. Sometimes greed overcomes good common sense.

Very true, but that being said if I wanted a car I would have bought it on the block and been happy that I paid less than what I originally offered. It's not like there are tons of 13K mile unrestored Z28s out there.
