I think the auction landscape has changed quite a bit, now that the two bigger ones are televised with seemingly large audiences. I recall when I first saw Mecum on TV. More bare bones affair. Prices were closer to wholesale and most of the buyers seemed to be dealers, with 4-5 of them grabbing a good chunk of the nicer cars. This applied to BJ as well.
TV coverage has broadened the audience and brought out the folks who are buying for themselves. And the show has been adapted to be appealing to that target market to the point where I don't see any of the dealers who were fixtures at earlier Mecum events.
