we're not exactly huge fans of Barrett-Jackson but it is a big event this week for car guys so we're going to send an imaginary bidder (average guy,skeptical wife, bids on odd cars) to the show.
Plus we're going to give his sober and drunk bids.   
It's going to be fun.

Okay-we're set up for Tuesday Day 1-I should preface this by saying that we picked two cars for day one because it's bargain day.

The rest of the week we'll focus on just one car.By the way, they change the lineup quite a bit at B-J because we had to go with 2 other cars for our "buyer" after they eliminated our picks from the site-one was a Mopar.

But it just adds to the excitement for our rookie buyer.

Day One went okay for our make-believe bidder. His drunk bids were way out of the reality range, but his sober bid on the Volvo was dangerously close-and the excessive bid on the 65 Chrysler wasn't a deal breaker.

Most wives can live with a $3000 error-to a point.

The Day 2 bid is one of those "who knows?" scenarios because any custom stuff on a car changes the game and it could get worse with drunken nostalgia in the mix.

Let the fun begin.

Tomorrow is promised to NOBODY . . . .

Wednesday was rough for our fictional average car guy at B-J but his sober bid on the old police car was within 700 of the selling price.It was the drunk bid that got him in trouble.
This Hollywood car is a bigger mystery on Friday-it's pretty hard to pin the value down on something like this.

They had some really bad weather at BJ today! The auction was almost shut down from what I hear.

Okay-SUNDAY'S the last day for Barrett-Jackson and I'm going to tape it for 3 reasons...
1-NFL playoffs.
2-I can whip through the advertising saturation bombing.
3-Don't have to watch a burned out rock star throw in a signed guitar to hype his car on the block.

For some reason our (sober) fantasy bids were really close on the celebrity iron-right on the number for the Ghostbuster Caddy and within 3 K for the Sonny and Cher George Barris 66 Mustangs.No expertise-just guessing and luck.

Sunday's fantasy bid is a relatively normal car-had enough of Hollywood cars and the show is over.
Thanks
