This was my 3rd year attending, second year selling a car, and i thought the quality of cars this year was outstanding. There were still several turds, but most of the cars were exceptionally nice and i can guarantee that most sellers did not even come close to breaking even. I know that i ate 17,000 on the car i sold at the auction this year. My car went really late on Thursday night after the charity cars. Hardly any bidders were left.
I thought the two continuation Shelby cars selling for over a hundred and at the same price was odd as well.
I'm glad i did not have a bidders pass this year or i would have brought home a 65 fuelie corvette and a 61 Corvette. Plenty of deals to be had for nice collector cars. The C1 and C2 Corvette market is in the tank, minus a few outliers that made absolutely no sense at all-ie, a guy paid almost 90 grand for a small block 67.
Anyway, i had a great time even though i lost money. It's a great auction to attend and i am sure i will be back again.
