I think its unwatchable too.......... I am amazed at the coin they go for. I think the commercials are to help you get your breath back......

Spot on! That's why I record everything. Fast forwarding through all those damn commercials etc., is the only way to go.

Coin? You mean the fake BJ bidders who inflate the prices to just under reserve?? I have friends who work with the auction and they fully admit the insider up-bidding is standard there. That and "selling" a few cars high to prime the "crap i better get this one while i can" pump of lower value cars that sell later.

To each his own I guess but, we always look forward to it each Jan--especially after attending the Vegas auction this past Sept. For us with the car locked away for the winter, I look forward to BJ, the start of the NHRA sesson and the Detroit Autorama show. I'm very envious of you Southern guys who can keep your cool cars driving all yr 'round--I need to see the car stuff from Jan to Mar. to tide me over.
