At this rate, the poor owner is going to have to <u>change the trim tag and/or the VIN </u> to be able to get rid of it. Kinda funny if you ask me.

Somehow, I don't think that would help the situation...

I still feel the if the auction folks were to have a process and policy which would offer the buyers more confidence the bottom line would not suffer, prices would most likely increase. Credible sellers would boast that their cars were up for auction at .... and that by being accepted shows that their cars are of the highest quality and integrity......... most people will spend more if they know what they are getting is the best!

Seems like a no brainer to me

Top shelf cars with KNOWN history, verifiable docs, photographic resto records and no excuses almost always bring top dollar in ANY venue. Less than the above is just, well, less and many of us won't mess with it.

Richp-
I am not even going to dignify the level of stupidity of that comment with a response...

I too happen to like Drew's auctions. I attend them and have in the past been a bidder. The point of my comments are not to imply or infer that the auction house has either the blame or the responsibility under the current system. I AM suggesting that there are solutions to the reported abuses and misrepresentations in our hobby. This forum is the beginning of the disclosure solution as it provides a process for a buyer to learn specifics about a car of interest. Auction houses can greatly assist in this process. It is certainly their perogative to run their business as they wish. Maybe someday, one of the houses will step forward and begin the change in their industry from caveat emptor. I happen to think that the first one that implements disclosure will win. What possible down side is there for the auction house? Since Drew is an enthusiast, and in position to effect they way his house does business, I was (and am still) urging him to give it some thought. Bob

[/ QUOTE ] for every bad car Drew would lose by implementing this policy, I predict he pick's up 2 better cars in return, it's a no brainer good business move to me...

How in the world would you dismantle every musclecar that comes thru the door for auction ?? You have to at least try and rely on the integrity of the seller at some point. If people knew they had to have the car dismantled for inspection they will just do the work better.

WAIT A MINUTE!
Upon reading the post again, I THINK what RichP MEANT to say was: It reads as IF Russo and Steele had something to do with the "chopping". I may have over-reacted. Of course you can image my horror that ANYONE could or would possibly suggest that "Russo and Steele HAD something to do with 'chopping'" - which was also the reason for Stephano's reply of "What?" as well...
You are indeed correct - using the word "Chopping" and "Russo and Steele" in the same sentence sent off alarm bells.
Sorry for my "knee-jerk" response (ok - I'll say it so someone else doesn't have too - emphasis on Jerk) - humble apology to RichP it I now read it correctly.
