Tuned in for a little while earlier today. I remember seeing the show before though. May watch it later if the football gets boring.

Is it true that the cars auctioned off do not have a reserve? So if someone spent $$$ restoring a 63 split window coupe for $60k and someone offers $45k, is the seller obligated to sell the car?
I would suspect unless the seller is desperate to sell, the caliber of cars is going to decline overtime.

Even it if is "last years show" it makes for some good classic car watching.
I can only take about 5 minutes of that annoying auctioneer though.
And some of the chimpanzee-like screaming of some of those "working" the bidders gets to me as well, to the point I then flip the mute button on and drool in silence.

I think billing the auction as "no reserve" gives the bidders the illusion that there are great deals to be had. But if you watch the broadcasts, IMO true bargains are few and far between. Actually, I think there are better buys at B-J Palm Beach, where there are fewer bidders.
