----And yet, Staluppi was buying cars left and right. He is still a big car guy. Just rotating stock, I think!......Bill S

As always, BJ cars sell for more money than their worth? Look at Pratt. He didn't make any thing on millions of dollars of investment in the car market. But then again, he spent stupid money on BJ cars at the advise of Steve Davis. I can't hardly watch BJ any longer. Mecums is the place to buy and BJ is the place to sell?

I don't look to B-J as the barometer of the market at all. Maybe when things peaked in 2006-2007, you could say it was representative, but probably not anymore.
In general, its just great entertainment being down there. We hit most of the auctions, B-J, Russo, RM, Silver. Biggest surprise was Russo-Steele. Seemed like they had maybe 60% of the cars they had last year and maybe half a dozen nice correct musclecars. Lots of junk, in my opinion. Barrett Jackson never disappoints in being great entertainment, seeing some beautiful cars, some great deals (what's with all those 1957 Chev 150 sedans going for around $50k, even the fuelie's?), and just having fun talking to vendors, etc. Even George W. Bush showed up. That was a treat! Super fun week, wouldn't miss it. And for the record, I'm 47. Hope to be in the hobby and still buy quite a number of cars in the future. Not looking at the cars as an investment anymore, just a fun hobby. Stock market and real estate lately are much better.

Was reading an article about Staluppi where the FBI claimed he was a member of the Columbo crime family.Besides cars and boats he also owns a gentlemen's club.

Potential buyers think: Here is a super rich, smart guy buying very high priced cars. He must know something I don't so i will pay high prices too. Probably some right offs also done by sharp accountants. Guys like Pratt don't normally lose money. |

Im pretty sure those with unlimited funds dont buy cars for investment,but for enjoyment and bragging rights.
