Ok, I'm going to hijack my own thread, sorta. I mean, the title of this thread is "It's not a Cobalt, but" so I guess anything that's not Cobalt related can go here? Hopefully John won't run me off, but I didn't know where else to post this.

Anyway, I think that BB might be the only one that knows I am an Auctioneer and sell wholesale automobiles on a weekly basis as well as lots of real estate deals, collections, Benefit Fundraisers and classic cars.

One of my gigs is with Barrett-Jackson Collector Cars based in Scottsdale AZ.
I'm very humbled and honored to have worked with these guys on the auction team since 2004 and they are TRULY the best in the business! I get to work with them in Scottsdale (a 10 day run), West Palm Beach, Las Vegas, and now the NE Auction.

I'm only bringing this up because tomorrow I fly to Hartford Connecticut for our 2nd Annual Northeast auction at the Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino. If any of you Yanks just happen to be there, please let me know, I would like to meet you!

These pictures are from last year in the arena, about an hour before we opened and about an hour after. It was crazy seeing a place to fill up that fast!

That's awesome... That's a bit of a hike from where I am currently, not far from where I used to be.

If you ever head to Turning Stone I'll swing through.

Thanks guys! It is a tremendous amount of fun. The picture of the little boy? I've sold his Mom and Dad 3 cars, but he bids on them (they tell him to stick his hand up). Last year at Scottsdale they kept trying to buy a car and kept getting outbid. I asked permission to take the boy up on the stage and when his mother said yes I swooped him up and carried him right to the very center of the stage and let him bid on this one particular car right on TV and in front of everybody. His mother had told me their maximum bid so he stuck his hand up every time I told him to. It was awesome! Once the other bidders saw what was going on, nobody would bid against him and they got the car!

Cool story. Nice pictures. It's funny hearing your name called when I was watching it.
