Agree, I saw all BJ Healeys and the real good ones have not yet staged until
today and tomorrow. I was at RM yesterday and the best are still to come as
well. But, trend is down. At RM the astin and Jags did OK.

"Prices have dropped like stones. I just watched a 100M at RM go for $45k"
I wouldn't jump to this conclusion right now. So far the Healeys haven't
done well but has anyone seen these cars in person? Typically, the first days
of these auctions have the "not so nice cars". I looked at the cars last year
at BJ and was suprised at a lot of things I saw, bad panel fit, rock chips,
poor or wrong fitting chrome pieces, etc. I have heard that approx 30% of the
cars sold at BJ are bought by the original owners because they didn't get to
the dollar level they wanted.
With that said, the big guns are coming out today. Kurt Tanner's shoddy work
shop has 2 cars and a nice BJ8 from John Wilson of Healey Lane in Oregon. Sat
has a BJ8 from Healey Lane in Riverside and a 65 BJ8 from a restorer.
So if the tents are still standing after the fierce winds last night, I
think you will see at least one of the cars today reach 6 figures.
