kinda like Barrett-Jackson scheme, no reserve either, thats sketchy to me..at least Mecum U can set a reserve..
BJ pushes the No Reserve because they want everyone that comes there to buy a car to know that if their bid is highest the car is selling. I think it’s harder on sellers to push the No Reserve because if the money isn’t there your car may sell for much less than you want. The reserve is a safety net for sellers, especially at the highest prices some of these cars command.
