Fun with Barrett-Jackson this week
1 Attachment(s)
we're not huge Barrett-Jackson guys,but it is the big car guy TV show this week so we're going to send an imaginary buyer to the show-he's an average guy with a skeptical wife who likes to bid on odd cars.
Plus we're going to give him sober and drunk bids. Just a little fun this week. http://www.mystarcollectorcar.com/4-...f-the-day.html |
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. http://www.mystarcollectorcar.com/4-community/letters-to-the-editor/443-barrett- jacksonthe-800-pound-gorilla-we-pick-the-car-of-the-day-1.html http://www.mystarcollectorcar.com/4-community/letters-to-the-editor/444-barrett- jacksonthe-800-pound-gorilla-we-pick-the-car-of-the-day-1-a.html |
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. http://www.mystarcollectorcar.com/4-...the-day-2.html |
Day 3-things get little worse for our fictional guy.

Hopefully a better day for our fictional average guy on Day 4 at B-J-The upside of Thursday was that his bid was only 700 bucks out on the old police car-downside was the disastrous drunk bid on the same car.
This one should be interesting-Hollywood cars are really tough to pin down on price. http://www.mystarcollectorcar.com/4-...lla-day-4.html |
Ghostbusters car hasn't come up yet-who knows where our guy is going to be on that one?
Saturday his pick doesn't make any more sense... http://www.mystarcollectorcar.com/4-community/letters-to-the-editor/450-barrett- jacksonthe-800-pound-gorilla-we-pick-the-car-of-the-day-5.html |

Barrett-Jackson is on this week-basically we're picking really odd cars at B-J and predicting the selling price. There's a boatload of free drinking at Barrett-Jackson for bidders, so we give a drunk bid on the car too and rationalize why. Then we end each day with whether our bids would kill a marriage. The last 2 days have been really accurate-only missed by 700 bucks on the old police car and hit right on the nose with the Ghost Buster 59 Caddy. It's a time killer-anything to help get through the million ads per hour on the B-J telecast. |
