A guy I know went to Barrett-Jackson one year. He's got bank. Explained how it worked for him. To register as a bidder you just can't show up with a bag of cash. You have to preregister giving BJ a letter of guarantee from your bank and or a couple of other options. Basically letting them know how much you got. Then you "buy" your bidding paddle and drink tickets. The bigger the auction the more those cost. He figures there is a internal code for the drink tickets as they seem to be different colours for them and when you get your drinks they pour accordingly to the colour of the tickets. He estimates his first drink was a triple. So now they have you there being hyped to buy with a big letter from your bank and your half in the bag by the time the auction starts. What could go wrong?
