He &quot;WAY&quot; overpayed for a large part of his collection. Some of the cars might make money, but a large portion of them he will take a hit on.

He's probably rich enough not to care.

He's a Billionaire,
He makes more money a day than what a lot of those cars are worth.
Lot of people in his position over pay for things. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Ron Pratt bough a lot of cars that were charity offerings, overpaid but got a huge tax write off for his chatitable giving. After 12 years of &quot;power buying&quot; at BJ. (never saw him at any other auctions), makes you wonder was his connection to BJ more than just a car guy buying some cool toys. I am sure everyone of his offerings will get maximum block time and we will get sick of Craig grabbing the mike and saying &quot;its way below the money&quot;. Well Craig, Ron was the money in a lot of purchases, so come up with a new line.
Not sure of Rons age but like a lot of other collectors over tha past few years,some little voice has said, time to move thr collection, no wait, that is what my wife keeps telling me.

Hope it's not a health issue making him sell.Sometimes age or bad health make toys seem less important.

Very interesting. He's got a few cars I'm sure I would like, but no dollars on hand to pursue. He's a class guy from what I could tell and contributed millions through the charity auctions over the years. Good luck to him.
