View Full Version : Mecum
Is anyone else watching?
Seems like there are a few good cars this week. I really liked the '59 that just crossed the line.
channel?
watching Speed coverage of daytona
Lot of nice machinery, but way to many high reserves = no sales. I'd like to see them go all no reserve like BJ.

Bouncing back and forth between it and Daytona. They've had some really cool cars.

BJ runs the damn prices up IMO, I do not like watching them.....too high.
All depends on the time of day for these guys, early in the day, you can get some deals, the later it gets, the more they raise the prices to list a car (prime time)
Prices seem more realistic than BJ when reserve is met. Hard to tell the quality though.

Well, I am "car-less", so I am also "shopping" in preparation of Kansas City.
Always good to get some info on my classics.

Yeah, that was crazy. Some of the other ones went for much more reasonable prices, though.

Whatcha thinking?
I watch to see how ridiculous a classic pickup might be.

Not sure, I like 50's Caddys and 40's Buicks though....We will see. I want a classic until the C7 comes out.

No, this was on earlier today live, but this is a replay, they will show tonights (7pm on) tomorrow more than likely.

I watched quite a few hours of Mecum this week. They appear for the most part to have more vehicles with a real world price.
You do not see near as many of the big shot millionaires with the big egos at Mecum as at B-J. The commercials and other bullshit (time away from showing cars) on B-J is way overdone, you can see many more cars at Mecum. Another plus is you do not get Craig Jackson and Mr. Sunglasses always shooting off their mouths!:hurray:
For the record I watched a lot of B-J when it was on earlier also.
