Topic: Car Auction

[Greybeards Customs]

My brothers step Dad has a fairly extensive car collection ranging from the early 20's to present and they held an absolute auction this last saturday . I was amazed at the number of people that showed up all week long to preview the cars on friday alone there were over 100 people there . He will start over again i'm sure building a new collection .

Wow, so which one did you win? That red T-Bird looks sexy.

[Greybeards Customs]

nothing for me , I spent most of the day running motorcycles through the bid lane

[hotwheels]

So did everything sell? I'm guessing absolute means no reserve?

[Greybeards Customs]

correct - no reserve . One guy paid $1000 to back out of a deal , claims he bid on the wrong car , in his defense they did run two silver convertible cutlas'  back to back so they accepted the deal and let him out

Nice collection, how do you think prices were?
PS good to see ya still around.

[Greybeards Customs]

There was a broad range of price on the cars , they were as low as 1000 to $53000 . this was not barrett jackson , it was an auction for the average man .

Those are the best type of auctions. Give us a real market value of cars and trucks.

[Greybeards Customs]

it did give a clear value of the cars , I would say it was fair value for sure , nice cars brought nice money average brought average money , just as they should .
