Smile Barrett-Jackson in Vegas....

I've been watching the B-J auction in Las-Vegas off and on for the past couple of days. The following "A's" sold were all nice cars at least for what I could tell: '30 sport-coupe $26,500, '31 deluxe roadster $29,500 and a '31 deluxe phaeton for only $28,000. Damn, the phaeton went cheap to me and the other ones a little on the high side. Oh' well, a '36
Ford custom pickup just went for a $130,000!

That 36 Ford PickUp must have had $100,000 cash under the seat to be worth that much. Auctions like this don't really reflect reality, they just demonstrate that some folks are willing to pay more than the next guy for a particular vehicle.

I believe the buyer penalty or Premium is over and above the aucton price.

BJ auctions and some others make everyone who has a rusted vehicle in a field think they are worth way more than they are, as to premium I believe the seller part is 8% and the buyers is 10%.

I did not see her husband Spanky, either. They might have been at a cattle auction someplace because that is their main business.

They were dismissed by B-J this past summer. Some dispute with the company.

For fifty eight years old, yes 58 she looks pretty good. She could pass for 35. And yes her husband and her have parted ways with BJ. Wayne

Correct, although as I heard it Spanky Assiter had it out with Craig Jackson and they parted company, just this past summer. And not on friendly terms either I'm sure money was involved somehow.

Maybe B-J has reached their potential, gotten too big. I have noticed with the Mecum sales now that they are carried on TV by MSNBC, the prices for their cars are climbing compared to before. I try to ignore the prices hype and just watch the auction as a car show. Nothing more.

A DVR is sure handy because you can fast forward all the commercials and cars you aren't interested in. A 3 hour program can be seen in about 15 minutes.

Yes! DVR is great for Barret-Jackson Auctions. 4 and 5 minute commercials are now the norm. I can do a 6 hour auction is 30 minutes as I could care less about all the Camaro's and Mustang's.

According to TheShop blog this AM, the B-J auction in Las Vegas had sales $26.9 million with a 98% sell through. Charity money raised was $750,000.

Also announced new auction for next year:

Barrett-Jackson on Sept. 26, along with officials from Mohegan Sun, announced the first Barrett-Jackson auction that will be held in the northeast U.S. The new auction is scheduled next year for June 23-25 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
