[QUOTE="67HEAVEN, post: 31040, member: 659"] I haven't seen the show you mentioned, so forgive this opinion piece that may be off topic. Although extremely entertaining, Barrett-Jackson auctions have done a great disservice to car guys by elevating people's expectations about car worth. Every time they turn on a B-J auction, and see some old car roll across the stage at 100s of thousands of dollars, they think their rusted-out hulk in the back 40 is worth similar dollars. The freely-flowing booze and the in-your-face auctioneer helpers work the egos of those frontline bidders until they can't say no, and the price ends up way over the top. Check the asking price of some cars on Kijiji (and elsewhere). They must all be B-J beauties too. QUOTE: "Hey, I saw one just like this on B-J. I know what I've got." :rofl: [/QUOTE]
