My .02 on Barrett-Jackson

[Les Quam]

"BJ an experience that centers around an auction." Well said Johnny HP.

Its a RollerCoaster ride !! Thrills & Frills

A wave that some cars can get caught into and ride the High Price wave and then the wave dies(Monster Garage etc)and people walked away. If your lucky to get in the momentum when cars are selling, they walked away happy. Cars that followed usually took a hit.
I think they really worked the cars this year.

One of the Best car shows,auctions in the world,great entertainment with CARS,BABES,and BOOZE.

There is an A*S for every seat and if you dont do your home work, so be it..

I call it The Good,Bad and the Ugly !! If you know this you will have a a great time with over 2,000+ cars ALL over AZ in that one week. Got to love it !!

Just my 5cents !!

Its still better then sitting in some parking lot bored in an hour.

Hey its even OK to pick on cars while you are there

It was nice to see you Rich! You are right...where else can you go for ~ $10 (on the early days of the auction) and get free parking...free tram/bus ride to the door...and end up with more than $10 worth of catalogs/giveaways etc?

Plus...as a bonus...you get to see a bunch of cool cars...and some really crazy people

Robosaurus I thought it was a joke.

. If I had the money I would have owned Robosaurus. I would have dressed him up like Santa Claus at XMAS time and terrorized my town. It is a amazing piece of engineering. Barrett-Jackson is one huge party and a very good one at that. You don't have to have the best of the best cars. The auction had something for everyone.

Charlie et all:
Not ever have been a BJ attendee - I have a question. I was shooting the bull today with a car affecinado and we talked about the BJ results. One bit of trivia I heard a TV commentator site is the # of cars that were on the docket last year (07), and then were back again this year (08) - like that cuda that lost over a hundredK from last years auction. Anyway...one questions that came up:
What percentage of the cars are actually "bought" and exchnage owners?? The presumption is many cars are "bought" by the current owners (still have to pay taxes and applicable fees). I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

I am surprised you or LV did not buy that military version of the motorhome especially for the low dollar that thing went for. Less than a conventional motorhome. You could have used it for party central at some of the shows and Steve would have been the envy of all his friends on the next Elk hunt!

That battle ready RV went for $50k!
That thing will get you some respect at the next tail gate party you go to. I can see that thing in the Lambo parking lot with a plume of brat smoke over it.

[SS427]

I thought it went for CONSIDERABLY less than that.... At $50k, it was still a pretty good deal considering how well equipped it was. Best part about it was if you hunted Minnesota, you would be ok from all the errant bullets that fly around here during season and with the bullet proof armor, you would be fine. That is why I don't hunt here anymore.

I agree about the commercials. Saw enough of that red Mustang commercial to know what the underside of one of those look like with my eyes closed.
