In this day in age, does the auction house pricing sorta set the tone for the market value of cars? I know there is that good deal every once in a while, but if say the auction pricing stays somewhat consistent, does it reflect the market value of these cars?
Case in point. Sorta looking for a classic pick-up for a summer driver. 1960-1972 Chevy are going up and up. So thought of a Lil Red Express. Seen that one went for $18,150.00 @ Mecum

and now one a Barrett Jackson $16,500.00

YES there might always be that special one or 2 with no mile of some other thing. But with 2 different auction house in 2 different states, getting the pricing well under what is typical on the web, does that put more of a realistic value of say and average truck should be???
