I am sure. But they get all the Deep Pocket Car Collectors that need to Decorate their Garage Mahal's. Last year a Couple of restored common Gas Pumps went for Big $$$ about 4 or 5 times what they are worth. You Can Not use B&J's auction results as a Guide to Value!!

I talked with a gentleman this morning just after he had checked in at Barrett--Jackson. He told me that there were only 2500 registered bidders and last year at this time there was 14,000. He said the place is crawling with very high dollar autos from the turn of the century. Doesn't sound too good to me!

The majority of vehicles there this year are of a lesser restoration quality,compared to years past...i.e. engine & undercarriages with quicky rattle can paint jobs.Taiwan components as opposed to what was actually used on the line,etc. And too many clones not owning up to it. Last year there were nearly 5000 registered bidders,this year just over 2500 are registered to bid. If they ever had 14000 registered bidders,eBay would be setting daily records & the price of gas would be at $8 a gal.

Once you go to the link you will want to click on the docket list and over to the right is a dropdown that will say collector car you want to click on automobilia and there it is. Prices really didnt look that bad i would have paid that much for all the globes . I have even paid more for some that i already have oh well hope this helps jason oh well off to Columbia were its going to be cold

I just got lost on that site, but here is how I found the gas stuff,," got to home page, click on "automobilia", go to "car search" drop down and click on "current event" listing , go to "type" and drop down to "automobilia", slide over to "Day" and click "ALL DAYS".. KINDA COMBERSOME, but it works.. Prices looked OK, nothing killer so far,, some good stuff coming up ?

Don't know about anybody else, but we've been watching quite a bit of it. And...even been doing some of the fantasy bidding. Good way to pass some cold winter evenings at home.

Wow, the Prices actually look Fairly Normal. Must be the economy last year some of those common pumps would have brought 2 and 3 times the prices they did this year.
