Bought two 356s at auction at
Monterey Car Week, the first was good timing when I landed a sweet B before the Porsche market really exploded. I auctioned it the next year, same venue, and netted almost $10k, which I put towards a C. The C is gone, four years later I sold it on
Hemmings website, not their auction. Up a bit but basically broke even.
A few years later my auction experience wasn't as good:

I sold a Fiat 124 spider on
BaT, and that went smooth as can be. And, I recently bought an '80 911 Targa on
BaT, which also went as planned. So, I don't have any beef with some of these venues. But, Buyer Beware.
