plymouthcranbrook Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I have looked at a couple of minutes here and there while waiting to pass out at night. I have always enjoyed fairy tales and the prices dummies pay for some of those cars fit right in. And every guy who watches that stuff and has a pile of rust in his back 40 sees his retirement fund in it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I watched 15-20 minutes. Same as BJ auctions. Some very nice cars and lots of buyers with more money than sense. As already mentioned it makes people think their old pile of rusty junk is worth thousands and not the scrap value, or slightly better, it’s really worth. I’d like to know how many of those cars with paint jobs alone worth tens of thousands, actually get driven in the real world. I bet I have more fun with my often driven antiques of very modest value!

T120 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) While the 1951 Hirohata Mercury Custom is very nice, I was surprised at the selling price of $2,145,000.00... I happen to have a very pair of the Lincoln tail lights as were used in the customizing of the car, ?

plymouthcranbrook Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) .I have said for a long time that these Big Auctions are often just a bunch of rich folks buying stuff to impress their rich friends, The next Garden party one can show off what he picked up at the auction and only paid$.... The friends then compete to get their own" bargain" at more money to show off. And away it goes. I am sure some are car folks, Leno is an example of that. Others are I am sure are too. But most, no I think not. Just another competition, cars, boats, house, Islands, wives', , etc. Edited January 29, 2022 by plymouthcranbrook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof ? Type something else on some made up Barris Bros. stationary.? Advertise them on some auction and see?? ? DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
