I have found that on Thurs and early Fri there are a few decent buys. The fever really kicks in Fri night and carries through. I bought our truck (#77) about 1:30 Thurs. and after getting it home and even more closely scrutinizing it believe it would cost more to restore an existing truck than I paid for this one ($21600 with commission). Everything about it was very well done. I have learned a couple of things attending many auctions. A lot of cars are prepped for the purpose of selling at auction and after close inspection are not as nice as originally believed. Also people tend to forget that there is an 8% buyers commission!! I heard a rumor that sellers were allowed to buy their cars back at a fee of $500 which would explain the large number of "no reserve" cars. NOTE I said rumor, anyone have any knowledge? Kevin, wish we had had more time to talk. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Jim

There are some pretty good pictures on the Barrett Jackson website. My daughter-in-law currently has my digital camera but hopefully I can post some later. It drives better than new and that 383 with the 3" Borla exhaust is awesome! Naturally the tonneau cover had to come off first!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Jim !

Jim,
Buy Backs are common,it costs 16% if you opt. to by back a no reserve car and more on a reserve car at the recent B/J sale in Scottsdale.

B/J is not a place to expect buy back deals as there are more cars available for the spots than the spots to fill them.

Stephano, I believe you but it is just hard for me to see how anyone could sleep knowing they have a $100k car going at no reserve and that it will cost an extra 8% to cover the risk!! To top it off I think that something like 80% of the cars there were no reserve [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] Jim

I was wondering why so many cars were being sold with no reserve. It does seem like there is some underlying reason. Not to take anything away from BJ, but I was surprised to see that many no reserve cars.

A nice thing this year was the credit for your bidder fee against the purchase. I was able to use the "honey, look at the new dress I bought,I saved $40" line. Honey, by buying the truck I got back the $300 bidder fee!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Jim
