I have seen some of the big dollar cars, that were in the tent, currently for sale in the local paper. When I called on them, they were all were buy backs, at big bucks.

So let me understand this correctly.....you call the number listed in the newspaper ad, the seller has no idea who you are, and he readily volunteers that he bought his own car back at the auction What do they stand to gain by volunteering that information?

PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THAT BUYBACK RATIO. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW CARS I THOUGHT THE PRICES WERE DOWN FROM LAST YEAR. 2 65 VETTES 396/425 CARS FOR 70K AND 82K,68 HEMI GTX 60K?,BOSS302 FOR 51K,SIX PACK SUPER BEE ON SUNDAY FOR 60K? THAT CAR WAS OUTTA THIS WORLD! HE HAD TO BUY BACK THAT ONE! JMO THE LIST GOES ON GUYS.

Its still the best auction on the planet for collector cars. The street rods seem to struggle. I thought most cars did well, some very well and then some not as well. Typical I would suspect. I'd be leary about taking a high dollar street rod there unless its a famous car (Chezoom, Whatthehey, etc.). All in all a real fun place with alot of cool cars.

Don I think we should consider that the buyers on some of those cars were smarter than we give them credit for...a lot of people bring stuff there trying to hit a home run when it may have a lot of issues that a wise bidder would stay away from...just because it is at BJ or any other auction doesn't mean its a great car.

We have a little auction here in Auburn, IN. that does fairly well. No Aronold Palmer golf courses nearby, but most of the Million dollar buyers wont be sitting in the front row eating yogurt in a T-shirt either. The muscle cars normally take the "rumble seat" to the Cord's & Dusenburg's but they make room for the six figure cars to. Buyers pay on the spot and many times in CASH! Come and visit us over the Memorial Day weekend. However....do'nt expect to be seen on the tube with your cell to your ear.

I wonder what Chip Foose's Riddler winners would bring. You gotta know those are million dollar cars to build. Would they even get close considering that Boydds rides were getting in the $500k area and are not even close to that caliber. Not taking away from some of the great rides and good builders that are out there, but there has been some previous riddler winners that just did'nt hit the mark.
