Any of you guys in florida goin to the auction the weekend. My dad flew down with my cousin and just called me to tell me that it is the most unbelievable displays of cars that he has ever seen. He is gonna be there all weekend. Im so jealous, if it wasent for school id be there too!:wallbash:

 

me and some friends have been talking about going...

 

all I know is that im gonna be watching alot of speed channel this week

 

I watch those at a friends house sometime. Not the average build it in the backyard restos are they. I heard the bidding entry fee is 5,000 and u must have written conf from your bank that you have at least $80,000 in an account that can be transfered at any time.(just what I heard)

 

I think the fee for a bidders pass is like 350. And they do check your financial situation. And on top of what you pay for the car, the buyer pays 8% and the seller pays 8% to Barret- Jackson. So on a 100000 car they make 16 grand

 

And the last 2 events took in over $60 mil each!

Gee, I would hate to get paid $9.6mil to run an aution for a weekend! :surrender

 

yeah, they dont make out too bad do they

 

yeah those are really nice, one of the guys at the show this past weekend couldn't sell his 1930's ford on barrett, cuz something in the car wasn't orginial, and therefore they wouldn't take it... like wtf? do they make things original from the 30's? ...

 

so many cars apply to be in the auction that they can pick out which ones are gonna go on the block. They have thousands to choose from
