scootro Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I’m thinking about taking a cheap flight up there next weekend! I’ve never been to the auction I was wondering if its worth checking out. What’s your experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell 06H304 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have been 3 times 2 in Arizona and once in Palm Beach Fla. It is one of the greatest car shows on the planet. There are all types of cars trucks and sometime planes and boats and tons of other car stuff. Look into being a bidder because that fee gets you passes for every day, good parking, seating in front of the cars being auctioned and most of all FREE alcohol. We just signed up for the lowest amout of credit which was 20,000$ and had no plans to spend.(just do not wave at your buddy back home watching on tv I almost bought a 69 mustang drag car that way) It's a great trip and a very nice part of the country to this time of year.

dbackg Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 It is the Super Bowl of car shows/auctions. Once you go once, it is an addiction if you are a car enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhood Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Great time. This will be my 3rd year in a row. We go on Thursday and Friday, then come home and watch it on TV Saturday. I don't care much for crowds and Saturday is really busy there. I get the bidder paddle each year although i have not yet bought anything. Expensive but worth it.

SteelTownStang Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 A few have posted that it's expensive... What's pricy... the entrance fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've posted lots of topics on the BJ auctions in Scottsdale and Vegas in the regional/mountain forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 To answer your question without a lot of details, it's the worlds greatest car show. (As are the others in the area at the time.) You don't have to go to buy, just go to see all the great cars and take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm198 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Undoubtedly, the greatest car show I have ever seen. It is even better than Hot August nights (16 years ago) in Reno Nevada. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
