Amy Sparks makes certain she puts her hands all over the bidders, and when the auction's over they get a hug and then she bolts-off to the next bidder.
She's a glorified lap dancer.


Anyone who thinks Craig Jackson is "just the auctioneer" or "middleman" oughta take a look at the application page. It costs $350 just to register to bid. Then you need a letter from your bank or a special MBNA auction credit card.
This is NO auction for the common work-a-day guy.

They also have an open bar for the high rollers - nothing like a few good pops to loosen-up the wallet, eh?


I did a Google on Jackson-- he's appeared in a bunch of zillionaire's magazines this past year - preaching the benefits of "alternative investing."

These dudes are driving up the prices on our hobby.
Now, for example, you can't buy a basket case Challenger R/T 440 from a barn sale, because they'll want $15-20K for it!


Watch the market for '73-'77 GM A & F bodies over the next few years. They're cheap now, but the high-end auction boys are gonna wreck THAT too.
