Again, I agree with what BJ is, just a platform for sellers and buyers. I would also agree that many a car has crossed the block at BJ, as less than advertised. What makes this case/car so special is who the buyer is. If anyone doesn't think special treatment won't be paid here by the house is probably where we disagree. I'm not condoning what happened here by any means, I'm just saying, I think this will all go away with everyone happy in a convenient way and we'll hear very little about it in the future. Bad press in these difficult economic times are not good for any business. Scottsdale is right around the corner. With the other auction houses gaining ground with a reserve auction venue and consignments on top notch cars being paramount, I can see BJ wanting this to go away. All I'm saying is that they are in a bad position here, and have a lot to lose, as far as the credibility of their consignments and reputation. This isn't about a 125K, this is about millions.
