Personally, having attended BJ in Scottsdale on several occasions,  there 
is nothing quite to compare.  It is an incredible event and  great way of 
presenting and publicizing the most interesting and  prestigious of cars. 
Having a Pantera on the block is excellent PR for our  marque; worth every penny 
of the charges involved.  Remember their costs  range from TV coverage, 
unbelievable amount of personnel, advertising,  entertainment, days of an entire 
huge festival setting, hundreds  of vendors, exhibits galore, give aways, 
many services, high  class catalogues and tents upon tents of beautiful cars 
to view prior to the  auction.  I question what is wrong with a very well 
organized and high  class money making operation in today's (still 
capitalistic, at least for the  moment) society?

Personally,  I would never buy/sell something at BJ.  With the heavy buyer 
and  seller premiums and the $500 fee just to register as a bidder, it's 
just 
a  money making machine for BJ.  Not to mention the advertising  
revenues.............Every half hour theres a "detailing tip" from Meguires 
 
or something like that.
