Of course the market is down some. No brainer, look at all the GREAT cars posted here that have not sold. I don't know why people are amazed about at the lower prices right now. Pretty predictable.

I agree the market is down some, however I was wondering if you would see the affect with the high rollers that this auction draws... Joe plumper might feel the market affect but not sure some of the boys there will. Just my opinion...

I would be very hesitant to bring a great pedigree car to a no reserve auction in a first time location. Maybe it's the quality of the cars that the prices are reflecting. I've still seen some great private transactions lately amongst high end collectors.

The Caddy sold for 38k, a bit short of the 80k he was expecting.

His '54 Rolls comes up within the next hour.

What about the 69 1/2 M-Code Super Bee? Something had to be wrong there. Said it was a matching numbers engine/trans/rear yet it sold in the 60's? This was a really unusual car too, being a post with buckets/console and PS & PB, all rarities on an M-code Bee, especially a post!

We need to remember that unless you're there to see, feel & touch the car & the docs, you can never judge an auction car on TV from 1000-2000 miles away. Are prices down from two years ago? Yes, but what may look like a bargain on TV often looks like a POS in person.
