I see some incredibly high hammer prices at the BJ Scottsdale auction. It would seem to be a gold mine for some of the sellers.
How much does it cost? I looked at BJ's website, and they were pretty secretive about it.
I Know there is a commission as a percentage of sale price, how about entry fee, and how much extra to get it placed on a good day and time, clean up, other costs?
Does BJ try to scam the sellers with a bunch of hidden costs? Has anyone sold a car there?
Thanks, Joel

If you are a gambler Barrett Jackson is the place for you. Some times you hit a home run. It's guaranteed that a few people this past weekend are not happy. It's no reserve for any car they value under 500K. Yes they charge more per day to reserve a number as it gets to the Saturday big day. I've sold a few cars at Mecum but never at BJ for 2 reasons. BJ is no reserve and they hold the money for 21 days. In most cases at Mecum you walk away with a check the day the car sells.

The big problem with Barrett Jacskson is you have no control over the car once it is in their auction. I know a guy who LOST $30,000 on a car. He could not just keep the car or bid on it to try and keep it. The bidding assistant just said “ well, I’m sorry. I thought it would bring more money.” He even tried to sue them but their contract is air tight. You get what you get. Yes, he even had to pay all the fees and commissions. If he didn't plan ahead to have someone bid on it, that makes zero sense. Plenty of sellers have bought their own cars back.

Usually never Jeff. As you know.
But I have now spent over 6 weeks going through my dad's stuff and I haven't even touched 20 of the 21 cars he left behind. I have 27 cars in my own collection, I'm over 60, and the market is hot. I'm not saying anything's for sale. If I was smart I'd be selling right now.

Good luck if you decide to sell the rest of his collection.

65'r, I'm Glad you liked the Corvair story. It was good therapy for me to get his car back in running condition after his death and drive it home. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...-dads-car-attempting-2000-miles.1244124/Oh, I couldn't sell all of my cars though. I really like every one of them. Each one has its own story and its own personality, and its own special meaning to me. Maybe I could sell about ten, and then roll the money from them into one car. That would reduce space requirements, reduce maintenance and projects, and improve the overall quality of the collection. The Barrett-Jackson thing seems like it might be a little bit too much hassle though. But who knows? You bring the car there, pay the fees, and it's over with.

I believe tallzag or his brother took a 70 Charger r/t V-code? there a few year ago.
Was disappointed and disenchanted.
Could have sold it for the little more net money at home. Without the trip hassle.
He was a first timer. No history with them. One car.
Got lousy selling time.

I believe the fees are the same as Mecum; 10% buyers fee (in person), 12% online or phone. There's also a sellers fee. BJ is a NO RESERVE auction as mentioned. Mecum you can set a reserve, and if it does not sell, as you've seen they mark it "the bid goes on" and then into another corral and you still could sell while it is in the bid goes on area. Still would be subject to the same fees.

One of the guys who restored my Challenger drove a Corvette onto the bidding platform Saturday night. He did a lot of the work on it. The car sold for 650,000. He is a tremendous metal crafter. Local UPS route driver, restores vettes and take them to BJ about every year.

If you want barrett jackson and you're selling muscle cars, I'd contact David Wise. BJ has him go over the cars they sell. I don't know anything about your collection, but I think having him come in and authenticate what you have with one of his reports and speak to him about the best way to go about it would be smart. Especially if you have 10 cars. Especially if they know there could be more if things go well with the first 10. Won't dispute what your saying but I will say I have seen A LOT of perfumed pigs come from BJ in the last 20+ years (40-50+ if not more). Only a few needed little Of course. I'm speaking more to very recent years. My collection is hyper specific, 55-61 mopars. I've been contacted numerous times, providing TSB's and other things to help them authenticate certain things. They're taking it very serious now. No auction house is perfect, but I've seen a change the past few years especially with BJ. I can't comment on mustangs, vettes, etc. I don't do muscle cars, so I can't be of help there. I do know on this era of cars, Wise has more info than anyone to help authenticate things. I was impressed.

Just got back from B-J and have only been there one time in the last 10 years, had a booth there for 5 years as a vendor. NEVER, I will repeat, NEVER sell a car at B-J, the car we took there this year did $115K and we wanted $150K and still had to pay the fees and commissions. If I ever sell a car at auction again it will be Mecum, and Dana buys a good percentage of the cars there too...LOL

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
