Re: The Face of Greed
Yup, and forcing everyone to list their cars with no reserve so they'll still make the 16% commission even if the seller has to buy it back himself. Private sales will be the only way to deal with musclecars from this point on. Why waste money dragging a car out to BJ and have them hit you up for the commission when you have to buy it back so you don't lose big $$$.

Re: The Face of Greed
After seeing this fiasco I would never sell a car at Barrett-Jackson.
The funniest part is when people start to clap and go crazy including Craig Jackson when a guy blows his brains out and spends stupid money on a car. Personally I would back off once I heard everyone start to clap and go crazy......

Re: The Face of Greed
Frank---It kinda gets like the O.K. CORRAL, but instead of guns a blazing, they whip out their bankrolls---The fella who dropped the 3mil on that Historic Olds kinda got in the face of the competition and really IMO, caused a very costly payment--the bidding kinda stalled at 2mil-if you can call that stalling ---He didn't have to have a poker face , it seems he had carte-blanche---At least the car will be available to be viewed by the public---

Re: The Face of Greed
I think what he's guilty of is commercializing the hobby we love. It's now sheik for rich guys to own a muscle car or two and guys like us are left in the dust drooling over pictures of cars we'll never own. JMHO

JMHO [/ QUOTE ] I would agree with this and also add that these are the same cars that "we" gave up on and sold 20 years ago, not realizing that someday some rich and wealthy types would come along and snatch it right away. I owned my fair share of muscle cars over the last 24 years not knowing that I would see the same cars bringing in this kind of cash. Kinda gives me mixed emotions......
