Model B Auction

You mean the 15% doesn't include any fees ?? I can see auction popularity fading if they keep increasing that. I'm to the point of not watching Barret Jackson because the greed bothers me too much.

Sure looks like a stovebolt air breather on the engine and a strange vin number. If it sells as its going, still good buy even with the extra charges thrown in. Getting a title signed appears to be awfully expensive in this day and time.
 
With all the fees charged to the buyer I wonder how much they ding the seller? There is a local auction house charges both the buyer and seller and they get 30% total. Another charges just the seller 25%.

I missed the 6% tax when I first read the terms.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this thinking. The BJ Auctions are stupid money. Total waste of time in my opinion.

I quit going to auctions in Iowa when they started charging sales tax, even on antiques gas globes-signs-pumps what have you. I said enough is enough. Throw in bidder's penalty and all that and I'm outta there. I can have more fun hanging out in the garage and putting across town to see other car guys and what they are doing for free:):):):)

Toss in an out of state trip with all the traveling expenses and the hobby loses it's flavor for me. Real quick.
