Russo and Steele auction

[69LM1]

WOW!

Sounds too me like R&S bought a Boss if the seller was not aware of the shill bidding?

[quick-bowtie]

I want to shime in before things get heated again.. I dont know about the other deals but after talking to Drew Im sure he is dealing with them the best he can..

Ive acutally talked to Drew twice now and both times he was easy to talk to and definately cares about customer satisfaction to take the time and mend fences.

I dont want to go in the terms of our deal but IM COMPLETELY SATISFIED and will 100% comtinue to do business with Russo and Steele. By talking with Drew I could really feel he cares about his business and the hobby and the way things are run, He is a stand up guy in my eyes and really came across as a true car enthusiast that is fortunate enough make some money doing what he loves.

I fully expect this post to dissappear.............

Regarding both B/J and R/S I am interested in learning why so many people condone fabricated clones, with misc alledged "documentation" being passed off as original and survivors.

Why do most people turn a blind eye on cars that are obvious repaints, incorrect "original" parts and have Photoshop documentation........

I can understand the auctioneers greed, the sellers greed....but to hear the Speed Channel announcers tout the low milage, the documentation, and ALL the originality, is just so upsetting to me, knowing otherwise.
Why isnt there litagation and public outcry to hold down some, if not all of these sellers..........

I am very sorry to hear anyone takes a hit like that. Sure, you are selling the car to feed hungry kids. I believe that people can fall on hard times and have to sell their prized possesion. That sucks.

I do not believe I can sign a contract that says $100,000.00
when I MUST HAVE $140,000.00.

I can't hang around for five days and not check my contract.

I can't go to the block without my contract !!

As far as the buyer (dealer) being a man of his word, ..... please ! He sells used cars!! He is one of the many who take advantage of persons in this hobby (though he bought the car legally and fairly).
This is a sad fact of life.

This situation does not appear to be the auction house excercising their right to an advantage in a gray area.

Those SPEED guys are only reading from que cards and information sheets that are provided by the auction house based on the sellers description. Mike Joy is NOT part of the conspiracy to sell you a 427 with a six banger vin. Any of his other color commentary is surely based on his vast knowledge of that make and model car, not the particular specimen on the block!!
