Mecum Thursday, Another Duster goes for big bucks

Why would you personally want to buy at these auctions? That's just like asking to pay full retail highest price available for something. And you don't get to inspect the car as well with a private sale.

These auctions are dumping grounds for cars with "issues". Yes, there is "eye candy" with nice $150K cars. But there's much more lesser vehicle you don't see on TV that are bad.
I agree. I have been to lots of the Scottsdale auctions over the last 15 years. Many cars are built for the auction ie look nice on the surface to those who don't know the car. Its the worst place to buy.
