Hello once again, friends — from my house to yours. It’s been over six weeks since our last major land auction, the collection of sales on Amelia Island, FL, and even a hermit like me is itching to get out and kick some tires that I’ll never own. I stopped […]
It was a sunny, 65-degree spring weekend. Nature spared Portland, Oregon from the tornados that ripped through parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana over Easter weekend. We didn’t get buried in Maine’s spring snowstorm that left people without power for days. We also didn’t wake up to severe storms like […]
It’s a new week, and that means more rescheduled auctions these days. However, it seems that companies are pretty confident that they have dates where we can all meet up again. Late last week, Mecum announced the rescheduling of its flagship Spring Classic sale in Indianapolis, IN. Originally slated for […]
I was really looking forward to Gooding & Company’s Passion of a Lifetime sale at the Somerset House in London, U.K. It was due to hammer tomorrow, April 1 in London. That would have been the first international sale that Gooding took on during my time here at SCM. It’s […]
This week takes away even more auctions. Mecum issued this announcement: “In accordance with the CDC’s recommendation to postpone events involving more than 50 people over the next eight weeks, we will be rescheduling our March and April events. The March Gone Farmin’ Spring Classic Tractor Auction and the Houston […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day. Sláinte. What a week it’s been. From RM Auctions moving their Palm Beach sale to the Internet — and Barrett-Jackson just postponing their Palm Beach sale by six months — the immediate auction calendar took a major body blow. The subsequent recommendations from the Federal Centers […]
It’s fun to scroll through the results after the major auction gatherings — probably why I’m have this position in this company — to get a feel from each individual company on how they fared. As I scrolled through the RM Sotheby’s results, one particular caught my eye. A 1990 […]
We know Gooding & Company’s Amelia Island sale always has great Porsches. Then there was the huge 18-car Seinfeld Collection sale in 2016 that drew attention from far beyond our hobby’s borders. But what about the other sporting German marques, such as BMW? What of their representation in the last […]
The Amelia Island auctions are a little over two weeks away. There will be hundreds of cars to bid on, but only one auction will have more than a few pieces of automobilia on offer. Bonhams, as of this writing, is offering 31 lots of automobilia/gimmicks on Florida’s northernmost island. […]
Mecum Auctions is returning to the City of Roses for the second year in a row — and they’re bringing some special Shelby and muscle cars. This year’s auction is on June 16-17 at the Portland Expo Center, just a short drive from SCM World Headquarters. Last year Mecum sold […]
