Barrett Jackson - Scotssdale, AZ 2010

One GNX went for 69k, the second for 65k and both have an 8% seller fee so the seller only gets 59,800 plus consider the costs to get the car sent to the auction. With 3 GNX's at the same auction, you knew some would go cheap. I wonder what possesses any seller to sell his car at no reserve and if you knew a GNX or two was already going to be available at the auction, why would you add yours to the mix :confused:
 
and I actually got to watch it vs hear it in the background while talking about other crap :rolleyes: B-J sucks

i thought if the car sold for 65k the owner gets the full 65k, then the one who bought it pays b.j 10% com. making his car cost 71.5k then on top of that he has to pay his or hers sales tax.
 
1. GNX #078 - 4,700 Miles - $69K

2. GNX #452 - 7,000 Miles - $62K

3. GNX #275 - 1,200 Miles - $95K

I'm pretty sure the buyer and seller pay fees equalling 18% going into BJ's pocket... that's why the BJ crew claps when the big $$$$ are bid. I think they may have a special lesser % deal where if the bidding is very low, the seller can bid on his own car so he doesn't get totally screwed. Our cars seldom go for top $$ on BJ. It would seem to be more sensible to sell a TR on ebay with a reserve.
 
I've already done a general web search but didn't turn up anything. Does anyone know if there is a place on the web I may not have found that will show a rerun of the GNX that got coverage? :confused: Darn DVR screwed up and cut off.....I got everything but the GNX :(

I know they'll probably broadcast it again, and as much as I enjoy watching it, I would really just like to see the GNX roll across :cool:
 
A GNX with 1200 miles at $95k fetched the seller $87k. I guess that's about what it's worth to the seller. Buyer got screwed tho.

Sellers Net: #78 = $63,480 - other fees, #275 = $87,400 - other fees, #452 = $57,040 - other fees

Buyers Paid: #78 = $75,900 + TTL (on $69K), #275 = $104,500 + TTL (on $95K), #452 = $68,200 + TTL (on $62K)


Still fairly respectable numbers when you consider the quantity present at the auction and the current economy. Seems to be mostly in-line with current fair market value/book values for similar examples. Also means buyers were willing to pay that much and sellers were willing to take that little.
