While watching the auction over the weekend and seeing all of the stars and people come forward to donate to worthy causes such as the CNN Hummer. This discussion came up with a friend. Craig and his crew did a great job of getting the most out of the bidders on these items. And bless them for being so generous. But wouldn't it have been nice to hear Craig or his president come forward and contribute, offer some sort of matching or donate commission on the sale? Perhaps he has contributed in ways that I am not aware of. If so I apologize, but he had one hell of a weekend ($). Would have been nice to see him step up. Kinda made me sick thinking about it...

Regarding the Motion car.. I love them but they just don't seem to do well at auction for some reason...

Darren, I had heard the announcers say Craig donated or waved the commissions fees.

Another one that surprised me was Oehlers Gibb Nova.....it was bid up to $230,000 at Spring Mecum and was a No Sale.......I heard he wanted $275,000 for it.......It Sold Saturday for $160,000

That one was a show stopper for me too Ken.
I would imagine John bought it back??..I know I would've.

Ken, seems it makes a difference what type of car is sold where. At Mecum the majority of cars there were either muscle cars or race cars, which meant bidders there understoood, and appreciated, what they were bidding on.

On the other hand, BJ is a mix of everything.

Plus Dana Mecum is a true car enthusiast that fully understands 20% commission and no reserve aint gonna work.

Id like to hear more about the WWF stuff.. I had vip access and heard a few guys talking that had some drinks in them and werent happy campers..cant really blame anyone unless they were promised something..

You guys might goof and big Paul but I dont think I want to tangle with him (he a pitbull with some big guns and a wild past) I actually got to talk with Paul Jr. he is one talented guy. Also meet Foose and Chuck Zito..

Zito was a very cool guy to talk to..definately another guy I wouldnt want to piss off, He has one of the best looking Gasser Style 57 Chevys Ive seen.. I tried to get him to sell it to me..No luck though.

So he donated the commission fee on a charity item????

Maybe he should have donated some of his own money!
