Mecum car prices

[Les Quam]

I agree that high end stuff is still in some circumstances bringing great money. And in some cases crappy stuff is still bringing silly money as in the case of the black Boss 9 that brought 275K plus fees. That being said the pre auction estimates for Dave's cars were 5 million for the 23 cars. I doubt they brought 4 million? The W30 ragtops were expected to bring 200K each. The blue RS ZL-1 was expected to bring 1.5 million or more and the yellow ZL-1 800K to a million. That the two ZL-1 brought roughly half what was expected and the W 30 ragtops if the number reported on this thread is correct is way below market, or what people thought the market was? I think like others have said it was too many quality cars for too few buyers but I also think having the auction in a lousy area of Indy was not a great business plan. Most heavy hitters prefer a resort atmosphere or at least outside of a city like Chicago for their families to have some fun? I can't imagine Dana or Dave are very happy right now?
