Barrett-Jackson lawsuit over the Ramcharger Cuda

[rich p]

I feel he had NOTHING !! NO RESERVE !!

People think the sellers are so happy. I see them walking down the ramp PISSED OFF a LOT. Guys think their car is worth a million and it brings a half a million. You should see the look on their faces.

Check out the 4 door Hemi car when that went threw.

I really do not think B/j will be as big as it once was
I know for fact there was a lot of anger and disgust with the whole thing last year
A lot of people lost big money because of the bone head Idea of no reserve
Why transport a car go threw all the B/s and end up selling for much less then you have in to it that is just crazy I know there would be no way I would sell with out a reserve
And I will not be surprise that there will be more lawsuits in the works
I know of more coming only time will tell what the out come will be but for every lawsuit just gives B/J a black eye To make it honest they have to bring back the reserve if not it will be a slow death for B/J each year it will get smaller till one day it will be gone
I know a lot of people that used to go will not be going this year Me I don’t think I will even waste my time watching it on .TV They really shot them self in the foot last year
Last year was so bad I am surprise they are putting on Tv but hey I don’t have to watch

Amazing...The market has turned down, Barrett-Jackson is the biggest barometer of that and it is their fault ? Someone sells a car at no reserve, doesn't get what he thought he should and it is their fault ? Was there not enough bidders ? Has there ever been that many registered bidders ? And it is their fault ? The guy with the Cuda made money on the car but bitched because he was sure it was worth more. Does anyone think the same car today will still bring what the guy got for it ? I don't think it will. Yes I think the quality of cars is down because of the no reserve but I applaud them for doing it while it worked. This is a auction. All my life I looked at auctions as a place to maybe get a good deal. Now the sellers should sue because they listed a car at a auction at no reserve and it didn't get them what they would have set their reserve at if they had a reserve ? ARRGH !!!!!!!!

I agree...people are pissed that the cars sell at too high of a price...people complain when the cars don't sell at a high enough price....

I have it easy...I just go to have fun...it's one of the best car shows around!

I agree 100% Charley. If you watch the life on the block episode with this car and the actual auction, Mr Clabuesch said in one of the pre auction interviews that he "would see" if Chrysler was wrong or if he was by not taking their offer earlier in the year. Then the car brings more money than they offered him and he still pulls this stunt, slandering Barrett Jackson all over the internet, etc.....
I am afraid this incident just goes to show how we Americans take bits of news clips, and take them to be the gospel. Hopefully they got into his pocket deep enough to make him think before pulling another stunt like this.
Thanks for posting this Charley. I could not log in on the new laptop, had to get back on the old Dell...

Like the Judge who sued for his suit !! Whats up with these Judges ???
They should know better about wasting court time.

Whats a RESERVE ?? I SAID just make him an offer !!

I too agree that its NOT Barretts fault the market went bad and all the sellers know its NO RESERVE before hand so to whine after the fact falls on deaf ears to me.

What I dont like it the Rock Star event it has become, 5 or 6 years ago when I first started selling with them they treated people right and actually thanked you for bringing your car and even kicked you a couple perks but now Barret has turned into a Money Monster with partnerships, TV, and the whole rock star attitude, unless you have a BIG NAME or a BIGGER CHECK book your a nobody and it clear shows. Why on earth would you treat your normal clients like second string?? when the market goes bad and the rock stars stay home your screwed and I think that is alot of whats happening..

Dana's sales and Russo still give you that personal touch and make you feel welcome and that there thankful for your business and thats what I believe will continue to make them rise and Barrett fall.

I for one wont sell with them again and I even made good money with them last year to me its all about how your treated and Barrett has become to big for there own good. IMHO

Im going to buy because I believe there will be some somkin' deals with all the negitivity how that got the few good cars they have to go NO RESERVE this year is beyond me.

After watching life on the block that Judge clearly sealed his fate by what they recorded him saying.. but it did sell way to cheap and Id glady give 300k for the car today.
