These car auctions are interesting from an entertainment standpoint but
little else.
A friend of mine refers to them as lotteries.
They don't represent the real world. Some of the bidders haven't
completely examined the vehicles on which they placed bids, other
bidders/buyers bid up lesser cars to high and/or above market values
because their real focus is the super expensive cars and their
wife/girlfriend/son or daughter expresses interest in the "low-priced"
$100,000 car. It's all relative.
By and large the above is true. There are exceptions, of course, where
a car trades at true market value or only slightly above or a true
bargain is secured. But again, those are the exceptions.
The real fireworks will be the auction with the entry of a factory
Bugeye with a trunk lid and the Sprite Mk II without one. BTW, I'm
tracking down the elusive factory Sprite with the Ford V8.
Barrett-Jackson / Michael Jackson. Both fantasy. Just of different sorts.
Sweet dreams.
