Individual people, companies and governments are constantly adjusting during the Coronavirus pandemic. Plenty of auctions have canceled outright or postponed events until large, public gatherings are allowed once again. We’ve tracked these changes closely in the SCM Newsletter. We’ve got another change, as Mecum has once again rescheduled their Spring […]
It appears that the last weekend in June won’t be the car-selling fest that I predicted after the initial wave of COVID-19 rescheduling. Barrett-Jackson announced on Monday morning that their June 24–27 Northeast sale, usually at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT, will not be held due to coronavirus concerns. […]
Starting on Friday, you can get your springtime Barrett-Jackson fix. Barrett-Jackson’s Online Only Auction runs through May 17. Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach sale, previously scheduled for April 16–18, is now scheduled for October 15–17. I’m sure more than a few of us missed their usual April appearance on the auction calendar. […]
It’s a whole new world for collector-car auctions. One that can be measured in photo file size and pixels. Wave after wave of cancellation, postponement and rescheduling notices — it’s been seven weeks since they started popping up in my inbox — gave way to a big one breaking late […]
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” Mike Tyson isn’t known for his sage wisdom, but, boy howdy, do those words ring true these days — even if we’re dealing with that idea in a less literal way than he did way back in his boxing […]
Maybe you’re just sick and tired of being stuck at home by now. No one can blame you or your family for feeling that way. But we’re not out of this yet. Over 42k of our fellow citizens have died because of this virus since January. It’s currently the leading […]
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 […]
With land auctions closed down, our options for buying and selling cars are very limited at the moment. That doesn’t mean there aren’t strange and interesting discoveries to make. Check out this ’89 Turbo Grand Prix ASC/McLaren that sold on Monday for $15,500. You can read the auction-site copy for […]
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 […]
By now, many of us are getting used to days at home. Oregon’s governor mandated a stay-at-home policy on March 23, so it’s been two weeks-plus at home for most of ACC’s staff, although I started a week earlier since I’m part hermit. Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones […]
