Brock Coupe at BJ Palm Beach

Hey Badger, that price must have made you feel really good inside! Nothing like a giant knot in the pit of your stomach! My wife was wondering why I was choking while watching TV. I noticed that the BJ people were trying to keep sharp objects away from the seller!

That was a great buy and I think if I remember correctly that at one time B.J. did allow Reserves but then decided that they weren't selling every vehicle and it would enhance their profits and name if the did away with the reserve. As noted, Mecum's and other top auction companies are now starting to get the real top notch cars because they allow reserves.

Don't forget that the seller could have out bid the final buyer. You will pay BJ the buyers commission on the hammer price as well as your sellers fee but you will still own the car minus all fees after the hammer drops. You'll be out some money but you won't be trashed by almost having to give the car away. No reserve auctions have two types of players. The first is the person looking to steal and the second is the person looking to rape. If you're lucky you walk out a stealer. If not, you walk out not as a rapist but as the raped. School can be expensive.

I think the seller fee is 8 or 10% and the buyers fee is 10%

20% to buy back your car

I have been shoping for coupe's and GT's for about 6 months now and like houses if you want to sell them you have to meet the market price... the last two SPF GT 40's (with the Roush 427's) sold for 75k and there is a new CAV (small block and webbers) for sale at 62K...that is all the money that is out there, reserve or not...
