re: Barrett Jackson's Inaugural NOLA Auction is Today Thru Saturday

Their main problem appears to be getting consignments. As of today, they only have 350 lots listed on their website for a three day auction. I would expect this to be more around 700 to 800 for them to make a decent profit. By comparison, Mecum Auctions had almost 1,600 actual cars at their four day event in Dallas last weekend. Based on that alone, I wouldn't expect to see them coming back.

This is the same problem they had in Houston and they actually had a larger number of cars at their Houston auction last year, but didn't return. They put on a good event in Scottsdale, but they can't figure out how to replicate it elsewhere.
