Did you get to negotiate your sellers fee?

Gooding & I have a good relationship that started in 2011. With that said I have been able to negotiate a favorable sellers fee when presenting my cars to them. That is mainly because my cars always meet their expectations in terms of quality & condition. They get no surprises when working with me both buying & selling.
BTW... The unique Seinfeld 930 sale represented the market. My car probably did too. We all wanted & expected more, but it was just not reality at that time.
I do want to make one last comment. You can stand around and patiently talk with the crowd for certain. But you cannot have a spare set of keys & continually tend to the vehicle (as in locking it up when you go etc). That is just not how the Gooding scene works. They have auction reps well versed in the selection willing to help with their customer flow. The sellers participation is at best secondary.
