I'd bet there is going to be some consideration given to not allowing video taping on the auctions in the future. If the video didn't exist of the Boss 9 going accross the block we would have "he said she said" finger pointing. The auction house would still have theirs but it would take a ruling by a magistrate to get ahold of it. And we all know how some of it just dissapears or gets recorded over or the crucial scenes are somehow missing because someone unplugged the camera or moved it.

How's that for a conspiray theory?

Aloha Guys love the forum.I am just getting blown away from all this talk about shill bidding.I cant even imagine this is going on & in writing on contracts to, say it isnt so.I have been watching Barett jackson ever since it came on Speed Chanel & cant wait to watch it just like the Superbowl.After all it is like the Superbowl of Musclecars.My question is could there be shill bidding there?I know it is a No Reserve auction but I have seen some irregularities on some cars.Like some times they stop the bidding and have to go back to someone who wants to take the bid again(could it be because of a shill bidder) and some cars have to be resold for some reason not explained.Please tell me it doesnt happen there because I really want to go there one year Mahalo Irvin

In the case where the house shill bids and "wins" the car a)why don't they have to buy it like anyone else who has a winning bid? b)if they don't buy the car after screwing up the seller's auction who pays for the seller transporting the car to and from the auction and all the associated costs?
I would be uber-pissed if I spent my time and money getting my car to an auction and the hammer dropped and the damn car showed back up at my house like a bad exgirlfriend!

It apprears from these related thread I am not the only one shocked at sanctioned shill bidding. I always figured some guys would have their buddies in the crowd to CYA, but I didn't know the house had a gog in the fight.Does Mecum shill their own auctions too?

Do you even know when I contacted them? No, so don't call me a liar. I don't care to continue this discussion. Now, you see why I never posted before. I don't care for this. I don't sell "used cars" as you state, I have high quality Muscle and Classic Cars, but that is irrelevant. I know that I did nothing wrong at RandS. I am defending the other postings but I guess you don't see that. End of this.

Boy - This is getting hard to follow without a scorecard!

Now let me get this straight -

The first real response was at 7:54 or 9:15pm?
You are upset about being called a used car salesman or a liar?
You know what the truth is - but no one else does?

Where's my Ginkgo Biloba???








Hey - welcome back joey!
