CSX 4000 just sold at Barrett Jackson

[FredBMOC]

Still makes me wonder why even risk it; put it for sale on Cobra Country and if it sells great if it doesn't, enjoy it a little while longer instead of risking taking a bath at a certain sale at BJ.
Anyway, it was interesting to go to the auction and see this and other cars in person. Some beautiful 50s and 60s muscle cars, lots of awesome classic trucks ( my wife was drooling for one of those!) and a few foreign classics. There we at least 4 Austin Healys and several Corvette's that I would love to own and that were up for sale.

What happened to the buyer of the Veryon, is he banned from BJ, I thought when the gavel went down you bought it. Dont you have to have a order of credit to buy these cars, if not they would be buying the cars back all the time.

As soon as a bidder assistant is at your side (such as in this case), they know just who you are and what your maximum allowable bid is. When they do "the pause" to go over the description of the car again, they are also double checking those that have bid on the car already to make sure they do not go over what their financial institution has guaranteed.

When I said that the BJ organization was has everything well defined once you put that bidders pass on, they really do.

I tivo every BJ and last year they were on Mr. Jackson when a car stalled , the bidding as it were , he did a weird gesture on his head , strange enough to notice you know , not something you would do , Bidding pick up . Just saying . Was going to mention it last January but decided it might ruffle some feathers . Lets say this , everytime bidding stalls, they chat and the bidding starts up again . Great thats there job , But every time it works ? Not once have I seen it not work , there not that good , no one is . That being said you never see that on the well bought cars , which is kinda wierd . the 302 Boss that went for 40K a year or 2 ago at the end of day 1 , 2 ? Not a peep , maybe they speak up only if your a good customer/consigner ? Thats my $1.50

I cannot speak specifically about BJ since I have never consigned a car there but at Russo steele (and I would assume BJ) if your car doesn't sell like mine didnt and if you sell the car yourself within 90 days from the auction you still owe them their commission even if you sell it yourself. When I was informed about that I called them and they pointed me to the fine print in the contract I signed. It took 45 days to get my title back (since you have to sign it over to them) and waited my 91 days to sell my car.

I shake my head when they sell a nice street rod for 30 to 40k. You can not buy the parts and motor for that excluding labor and paint! Add on all the fees and the seller takes a bath.
