And some people say that "our cars" are losing value...don't think so, at least right now. The prices for some of these cars are off the hook. Fun to watch, that's for sure! Can't wait to see what today brings....

That car has issues…. Someone didn’t look closely at it before bidding.

It went for $529.000 didn't it?

Scared money.
Look at the group of NFL players buying farms.

I'll tell you Dean, the way Mecum runs their auction seems pretty unprofessional. Your close, it sold for $528,000, I just looked it up on their website. The hammer went down at $480,000 and they said sold at 480, 000. Then today their website states it sold for the $528,000. I have watched this auction company enough to see them constantly adjusting prices up and and back down again, pretty ridiculous. If you were there bidding in person, they would have you bidding against yourself. Anybody who has been paying close attention to the bidding knows exactly what I'm saying.

$480,000 + 10% commission = $528,000

All of the above "extras" are part of the deal but I'm sure any prospective buyer understands that. If what Tom indicates is so, then maybe someone didn't do their homework and just wanted to be able to say "I have an LS-6 'vert...do you? As always, due diligence should be part of ANY deal. Guess I'll stay just an observer...

I observed this car up close and personal. I saw enough that would have made me walk away from it at that kind of money.

a 1986 honda 350x three wheeler sold for 16000. And anyone into trikes, it was mostly 1985. So buyers need to do some research. jim

I believe it. I have been to a couple of these auctions and you would be surprised at the paint and trim flaws throughout some of these cars that look great on TV. Some of the paint work looked like a rush job with small areas of rust peeping through in the usual places. You just stand there shaking your head.

 

[Buzzworth]

I wonder what the percentage of cars are sold via the internet. Your point that the cars look great on TV and under the lights, but without putting my eye on it I couldn't consider bidding.

I get the feeling that those rich people really don't care.

Nor can 95% of them tell the difference between a 20 footer or nicely done, well built car.
