I have tried to see results for the past auction? Any idea when they will be posted?

They are notoriously slow. There is no reason that results should not be in real time......like Mecum. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Kudos to Barrett Jackson. This year their results were viewable by day and the sold/bid prices were being updated in pretty much real time during the auction. Very easy to reference and scroll through. Russo would be well served to have an IT person on this. Not so much to placate the armchair fantasy bidders, but to encourage the following and discussion of their event, to promote it for the future. I was at Russo with a bidder, and I'd like to see how some of the cars that I didn't witness fared.

Results are now up but only show for sold vehicles.

R&S have lots of room for improvement of the customer experience!

IIRC, that's all R&S ever shows.....no 'high bids' shown for unsold cars.

Why would they show results at all? Isn't that more reason to be there in person?

It's not so much whether they <span style="font-style: italic">should</span> show results. R&S may think from a marketing stand point it would be best to not show results to pique interest in the masses (they are probably right about that) but the industry standard, set by Mecum, is to show real time prices for all cars and Mecum has been doing this for years. R&S may not agree w showing immediate results, but the customer is indicating that is what they want/expect and R&S continues to ignore it (perhaps strategically).

That is what I am wondering. When you say the customer wants/expects the results to be shown, who are you referring to? Many buyers and sellers would rather the buying/selling price be kept as hush hush as possible while others would like to be in the spotlight.
