Barrett Jackson - Opinions?

That thing is going to be some fun off roading.

When a car goes through the auction and the price is lower than expected ,most people say its because the market is down and this is the new market price/world we live in. When a car goes for a very high dollar amount, its stated that barrett jackson is full of drunks and speculators and doesnt reflect the real world pricing . Cant have it both ways.

It is hard to predict the influence of the Italian cars and the German cars (Porsche) going up so fast, as far as making some pause on buying a stock appearing musclecar. I do think it takes some money out of the tent that could have gone to 80-150K range musclecars.

----It seems as though you guys are putting too much emphasis on Scottsdale auctions, and B-J in particular. Its worth considering the two Mecum auctions (Kissimee and Indy) as a better market judge. I'm not saying Mecum is higher or lower but a bigger number of good cars to make a judgement on. I was just there and felt the cars overall were generally better quality than I used to see at B-J......Bill S

Prices are to high. There are some exceptional cars that deserve more money. But as a whole things got out of control. I am sticking to that.

I have always felt that the Mecum results were more realistic. To me BJ just has a circus atmosphere. I went in 2013 and when the Batmobile crossed the block you couldn't even see the car with all of the &quot;Look at me i'm on tv&quot; people standing on the block

They are auctions...Prices are all over the place. There were great deals to be had if you were patient. That is what auctions are all about.

[the427king]

Bottom line is anyone selling a car will reference the highest price they can fuind at auction, and those in the market to buy will reference the lowest price they can find. Reality is somewhere in between.

auction prices are always going to be all over the place. I like iron clad documentation,
