Great information, Colin. Thanks. What's your take on Russo-Steele?

Interesting analysis, Colin. Thanks. We're heading to Barrett Jackson and there is no way that I can make it to Mecum one week later. I almost wish I was going to Mecum instead, spoke with Dana last week about a car and he filled me in on some of the inventory that will be there.

I would have to agree with Colin since he has taught me all I know about the auction deal. Dana treated me like a King this june and got me a great price for my hemi cuda and even bought 2 cars. Russo and Steel was a dissapointment for me, my car ended up aross the block an hour and a half late being 10.30 saturday night and I thought it bombed. My first auction was B-J with Colins help and I broke the world record on a amx and a hemi clone it was a great experience. This year we have 1 car at B-J a Yenko Chevelle and 4 cars going across at RM, this is my first time there. If I learned one thing it only takes 1 person to buy your car and they could be at any one of the auctions.. my 2 cents...

I am in the retail Auto business for 22 years now, means nothing. We have small fees and reserve the right to sell or not. My advice, sell privately, less time and hassle, less expense, and if you're buying beware of who's bidding on the Hemi Cuda Convertible's, mostly friends and phones.The auctioneer, timing or placement is critical. I don't like anyone telling me what my cars are worth. Also you are under the public eye and everybody knows your business. If it is 5 pm somwhere that will work in your favor if Jack Daniels boosts the ego's. People do go there to buy, often way over market, then wake up? I know i contradict myself, but have never sold at auction.
