gtabert, it is a car auction + 3 ring circus, they are getting 10% from seller, 10% from buyer, total sales numbers are posted, 35% from vendors, daily tix sales, 1/2 million people thru there gates in the week, valet parking, and the list goes on, $500 bidders pass, seller most likely pays a front fee + the 10% the city has given him the stars, moon & sun, yes some great $ going to charity that B/J most likely writes off becuse there is no buy or sell fees, lets not lose sight, they are used car salesman

WOW!

It's a great showcase, cool cars and all, just stay away from the auction and feeding frenzy it creates!

Who's the dude who wears sunglasses all the time? Does he have a eye condition? Lot of big money going to charity (good thing) The whole scene is to rich for my blood.

They do put on a good show, some great cars and some just built too sell(not really finished)
There are some good deals and some bad, just like anything else
Some of the prices are way to high and the seller loves it
Some of the prices are way too low and the seller may turn into the buyer and pay both fees to get his car back vs. taking low ball
