Default Russo and Steele auction

Andy requested that I remove the posts concerning his disagreement with Russo and Steele. He and Drew are talking and on track to work things out.

We'll all look forward to hear of a resolve that satisfies both sides! or not hear anything at all, that's OK too!

I'm glad to hear that Andy and Drew are talking to resolve their differences but I want to bring another irregularity at the Scotsdale R&S aution to the attention of the members here. I visit the Boss302 Registry infrequently but noticed this thread today.

http://www.boss302.com/smf/index.php?topic=35661.0

After watching the videos one of the many things that disturbed me was the auctioneer chanting in an effort to get the consignor to remove the reserve while Drew is bending his ear. The hammer sold/no sale of this car coupled with Andy's experience leaves me with a rather bad taste in my mouth. Maybe there is some explanation for this but it sure looks like a rigged carnival game from my seat. I'm not one to spread rumors or bad mouth others but I do believe....

Here's a link to another unfortunate story concerning the Scottsdale R&S auction

http://www.racinboys.com/home/video_view/video_id/714

The video is quite long...you can skip the interview with Drew about the current market conditions and start watching at 11:45 into the video.

Wow this puts a black eye on all involved in this fiasco. This looks like the car in question, based on the interview.

I want to shime in before things get heated again.. I dont know about the other deals but after talking to Drew Im sure he is dealing with them the best he can..

Ive acutally talked to Drew twice now and both times he was easy to talk to and definately cares about customer satisfaction to take the time and mend fences.

I dont want to go in the terms of our deal but IM COMPLETELY SATISFIED and will 100% comtinue to do business with Russo and Steele. By talking with Drew I could really feel he cares about his business and the hobby and the way things are run, He is a stand up guy in my eyes and really came across as a true car enthusiast that is fortunate enough make some money doing what he loves.
