Not Quite Ready for Barrett Jackson?..

[Chris G.]

i didn't think and never though it was B.J. material, my imaginary friend did...

I told Shiloh to let you win at checkers to make you feel better, but in no way shape or form did I tell him to give you car advice. Please tell me he didn't convince you to put those letters all over your back window? If I find out Shiloh had something to do with that, it's lights out for him.

We are talkin about the same guy, Chris, Right?..

Not even close. Below is the drawing you sent me of your imaginary friend...Shiloh.

Heres my totally useless one cent.

Thats a beautiful Runner, but theres no way I'd ever sell anything at BJ. I don't know what the fees are for selling there, but I flat out cant stand the way BJ has turned Mopars into a hot ticket for flippers who got tired of the stock market and have priced our cars out of reach of real enthausiasts.

If you sell your car at Barret Jackson, then the terriorist have already won.


Or something to that effect. Even though you could make some decent money, I just couldn't stomach dealing with those douchebags.

[Brock Samson]

 nope,  not a match...  sorry,

   here's my imaginary buddy...

  It sounds like fun to go to the auction, just make sure you bump the price to account for all of the bs fees & taxes, beers, women, cheap motel rooms, food, etc, etc. 

[Really?]

Hey Brock- love the 'imaginary' buddy you've got...ever been to Eastern Europe? Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic are LOADED with women such as that . Many have advanced degrees,too. In my humble opinion they put most other women to shame- not to say there aren't great looking women everywhere who have educations, but the ratio is not nearly as good as in the forementioned countries (why else would my older kid be fluent in Russian? ). My opinion is to not bother w/BJ; even if you car was to their caliber, there have been rumblings of legal issues w/their selling tactics not to mention the city of Scottsdale problems. The clincher? If the price is soft for your 'fuselage'-styled B-body, hold on to it. Enjoy it, then maybe sell it when the prices increase; you'll have nothing but good memories from it and more money in your pocket...besides for the next couple of years most areas of the country will be economically slumped so I don't see the 'toy' market firming up in the short term.

[Brock Samson]

it was never my intention to sell the R.R. or "The Battlestar Galactica" as i like to call her...

or auction her, it, whatever,.. I allways dreamed of getting a '71 R.R. since they first appeared before my eyes in the pages of a magazine... she's got one of the most appealing faces in all the world.
I can thankfully say it's a dream that with the help of God and my parents i was finally able to realize.
My very real buddy and sometimes Bass Player "Steve" suggested it when we were discussing my future since I am no longer employed,
the conversation went something like this... "Well, you can allways sell the Runner at Barrett Jackson"...
I replied, I don't think it's at that level... etc, etc.. i don't want to sell it and if i get my way i wont have to,..
just asking your opinions, that's all...

Now, as for finding a gal with a PHD and looks to match,.. 
I like the way your goin with this... 
more food for thought..

I was going to say something very similar to what was said above.  BJ seems to have taken the entire car hobby and turned it into a rich mans hobby.  It wasn't until that show started becoming popular that every person with a Hemi powered Mopar, or a Challenger T/A or AAR Cuda seems to think their car is worth $500K.  All the rest of the values have skyrocketed too.  I have a very nice 1st gen, and even those are getting to be outrageous.  I just saw a 67 for sale on a website somewhere where the guy wanted $16K for his car, and it still needed about that much work to make it a really nice car.  I thought that if his car is worth $16K, mine must be worth about $30K, and I know I could never sell it for that much.

The other issue is that for as much as the cars on BJ sell for, you know the people running the show are getting a huge cut.  No wonder they start bidding out so high.  I guess if I were making 20% on each sale, I'd be trying to auction everything off at three times it's value too.

[Ghoste]

We won't even mention how Craig Jackson started a Mopar collection a few years back and that skyrocketing values driven by his show impact his "investment".

[6670charger]

I agree.  We won't mention that.
