Back to the thread...lol. I think these auctions are B.S. in a lot of ways and I don't mean that in a Johnny paycheck simplistic way. I mean think about it. If you were wealthy and smart enough to earn and have 3MIL+++++ expendable, would you buy this vette?? (OR a movie mustang?). There's more to these "values" and reasons for the money being spent. @Marc W made an excellent point on that particular subject on the McQueen Mustang thread.
ALSO...How come SOME cars are literally a drive by. I mean; some cars come up (even some of the higher end cars) and it's wham bam see U mam...Hammer down before you blink and SOME cars are hanger's on. MAN, they won't LET that thing leave. Car just sit's there (to the point of awkwardness) 'till so and so from BJ says some blah, blah, blah about it and then...price keeps going up. I know if I was a seller and they pumped someone else's car but pushed mine through, I'd be pissed. OR if I was a buyer and had it,but they just kept dangling it for someone else.

I have no clue if a VIN under 50 was "special" or not. It was sitting in a showroom in Cape Coral Florida when I found it. The car its self was just like any other Demon. It had 16 miles on it. Hope the new owner enjoys his car. I am ok....for now....not owning an expensive piece of garage art. Might pick up a Red eye when they come down to less than 60K for a nicely equipped low mileage example. In my opinion the car hobby is changing. Muscle cars are going down in price, fancy pickups and European crap are skyrocketing. And the younger guy just wants a new cell phone! Just my.02

No worries, can't get rid of me yet! Still interested in cars in general and Mopars in particular. I am just transitioning to old fart status. Now get off my grass!!

Haha. As experienced skeptics (meaning old) we look at these things always questioning what’s going on here. At least BJ doesn’t have the BS minimum bid deal going on like Mecum where half the cars don’t even sell. I’ve seen some stuff on BJ that the seller really gets screwed. I have also noticed that some get hammered before the bidding has even started and others they are willing to keep on keeping on to the point you’re going enough already. I wonder how much extra it costs the seller for them to make that maximum effort. The one I had to laugh at yesterday was the new Vette that Hendricks bought. He just sat there with a contented look while the car was bid up to three mill. Haha. BS. There wasn’t anybody else bidding on that thing. He had a prearranged selling price with them and BJ bid it up to that for the TV audience. Chevy probably gave it to him. Anyway..... they raise some good money for some worthy charities and I entertain myself thinking about what’s really going on. It’s better than watching the political circus.

You are correct. That vette was pre sold. Just drama for the masses.

Little fish in a big pond syndrome right there. The commission they make from a 70k car is far less than a 1M+ car so guess who gets maximum effort? Simple greed driven experience.

BJ & Mecums via television have turned the auction biz into reality TV programming, and we all know it usually doesnt match up with the real world.

What is going on behind the scenes doesn't get aired, especially if it's negative or a bad look..

I was digging this car. Bidding kind of stopped around 300 or 400 and then the announcer said something like it was worth 900k or there was 900k invested or something. Then bidding took off.
But still 660k is a far cry from 900k. I hope someone didn't lose 300k on this baby.

The C8 went to Hendrick for $3,000,000.
I was in the audience when this sold. It was awesome!

It was $80 on Saturday just to get in. You’re not far off on the breathing comment!
