Barrett-Jackson Lawsuit

**olredalert** · #1 03-17-2007, 05:28 PM

------Even the most naive B/J seller knows that although not without its own set of problems, one can and many do buy thier own car back. Its ludicrous to think that this seller knew he was getting that much less than he wanted and he simply did nothing but go out and buy chains and padlocks after the fact. Im a poster boy for not getting what I want at auctions and this solution never occured to me.
------As good a question as what we think the car was worth is what did the owner think it was worth to take such a rash action that was bound to have repercussions??? Probably expensive repercussions!!!.........Bill S

------The post above answers my question yet begs another. That the judge had a rough figure in mind I can understand. But now we find out that he made a profit,,,just not enough to satisfy his greed. The actions he took are even stranger under this set of parameters. I really dont see B/J quick-gavelling a car with this history. I didnt see this car go off but the auctioneers must have felt it was all done. As they stated they would have been shorting themselves in the process........Bill S,,,,again!

From what I read, he made 75 grand in profit on the car. I wish I could make that kind of cash on ANYTHING!! If it were me, I would be very happy with a profit like that.

Let's see if B/J gets a few nicks in the fight or will there be a confidential settlement which will keep any of B/J's dirty laundry hidden and save the defendant a costly legal battle. This one ain't going before a judge!

Aftert watching the video......This is a perfect case of what this Country is turning into.........The Contract means nothing........It's the Interpetation of what one party perceives the outcome should be, and if he doesn't like it......."SUE"........Can you say "Black and White"....It should be that simple........Except when "Legaleze" comes into the picture.........Take me back to when Life was simple and before the Legal System took over the Justice System.......I could resolve this Issue in 30 seconds..........Lawyers....... The Judge was probably a Lawyer before he was a Judge...........Figures.....

Ok, I agree with you to a certain extent in general .....but it's BJ that has a filed suit not the seller, the Honorable Judge Clabuesch. BJ should of left this one alone. Look how many people forgot about it already. Now it's all back to the front page.
