Dave, right on. Each auction company does have it's merrits.
B-J does well on American muscle, rods from the seller's standpoint. But there are many cars that sell below market. They may run early or late, or on Tuesday and Wednesday. As a no reserve auction the seller can get hurt.
Of course the buyer better know what he is doing. Can't test drive the car.
Today there are more matching number 435hp '67 Vettes than where ever made. Careful folks.
ICA does nothing well from my standpoint.
KRUSE is big, poorly ran, sloppy, will say anything from the block. Again my second to the last place to buy or sell.
R-M, great for classic European sports cars and great old prewar American iron.
Silver- solid marketplace for lower to mid price cars. Normally they ran a week before the B-J, Russo & Steele and R-M dates.
Russo & Steele, runs a good muscle, rod, sports car auction. They accept reserves and allow a 5% buy back on no reserve sales.
Frankly, I move slow, never really happy with the cars I have bought at auction.
