Maybe a few go for more than their true market value, but that is outweighed by the many that go for much less.

Zacctly, Rick Hendrick (NASCAR owner) was there to sell 5 cars and he also bought a few, he was sitting with Ron Pratte, you think his cars went over the blocks at 11:00pm???????
Money talks,BS walks, especially at any BJ auction.........you roll the dice and hope for the best........I'd bet the rent that 50+% of the sellers lost money on their cars.............
IMHO, the BJ auctions are nothing more than a sleazy side show/rip off..........some cars would stall out at a price and then they would get "talked up" and stay on the block another few minutes, some would stall out and get the hammer immediatley, has a lot to do with who is selling and who is buying, IMHO of course.........

I have requested relief from them. I'll let you know how they respond.
I really wish you the best of luck with this,but don't hold your breath....a couple of years ago one seller tried to sue over the block time or lack thereof on his car compared to other cars, he got nowhere real fast with his claim..........seems they have their bases covered pretty good...........
