Barrett Jackson
Did anybody watch Barrett Jackson Scottsdale? I suppose it was on TV but for the first time in years I completely forgot about it. It was easier to follow when we had Speedchannel so I don't know who if anybody covered it.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Velocity and Discovery channels covered it. It is showing on Velocity now. As usual the sell prices are all over the place and don't make any sense.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Yeah, I saw that 34 roadster for 150k. Those are prices from like 15 years ago. It looked like a very nice restoration.

Re: Barrett Jackson
I've been watching on and off. The prices seem insanely high. My impression is there are a lot of people with more money than good sense. But what do I know?

Re: Barrett Jackson
When a car is put up for sale @ Barrett Jacksons auction is there a scoring system on the cars to weed out the every day drivers ?

Re: Barrett Jackson
Some neat pictures of the Pratte collection on these sites:

Re: Barrett Jackson
This guy destroyed some valuable trees for an eco-friendly Prius? I'm shocked.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Aside from the million dollar vehicles, I was amazed at how many of the cars sold for way less than what it would cost to do the restoration. Some of the Sunday sales were very good deals considering that labor alone today is $100 an hour. Then add the cost of parts and materials. It's very easy to hit $100,000. If you don't have the skills, buying one done is the best way to go.

Re: Barrett Jackson
I talked with a fellow that goes there every winter. He says that you would be surprised with the poor workmanship on a lot of those cars. When they put them on camera, they know what angles to shoot and what parts of them not to show.
Maybe this is why prices are all over the place. The buyers see them in person and can better judge what they should bring, than we can watch on TV. |

Good point Randy.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Hi Everyone; Here's the listing for the 1934:
http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Event...OADSTER-178656 EDIT: I was thinking... The $150k bid is really a $165k check (10% buyer premium). Then you've gotta get it home and pay home state sales tax. (A Scottsdale resident pays 7.975% I think.)

Re: Barrett Jackson
You have cars that look good at 50 feet, closer than that the flaws show. Then you have car that look good at 5 feet---they are worth far more than the 50 footers. Finally, you have the cars that look good "all the way". Those become the reeally "high dollar" cars.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Some of those heaps literally wave at you as the camera pans them. Man, a big screen HD TV shows every flaw. But, it's just TV so, when I get bored, I go back out in the shop or change the channel.
