Carolina Blue 1969 Camaro Z/28 @ Mecum Auctions

[Jack_Tar]

Since some of the posts here were about how auctions run, I have a question. If I remember correctly at the Barrett-Jackson auctions, the staff is not allowed to bid on any of the auction cars. I may be mistaken, but I believe that is the case. Do the other auctions not have the same rules? Also, am I correct about the BJ auction company?

Does Mecum let the bidders know that they will also bid on their own cars? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

.... We may discuss it here ... but a lot of the bidders are not aware of this practice unless

it is in the bidders information that is supplied to them from Mecum.

...Where it is a &quot;common&quot; practice with auction companies...

... I thought Mecum was more &quot;reputable&quot; then to do this

... It just does not seem right. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

... Maybe someone from Mecum will chime in and explain it to all of us.

Barrett Jackson are mainly No Reserve auctions except for the 7-figure &quot;salon&quot; cars. That is why they don't have to chandelier bid on the cars.
