Good morning all, hope you folks are missed by all the storms and all the damage and disruption that they're causing. Around here, rain likely later today and tomorrow. Some TV weather-guessers skip a few days then another storm through to next weekend, but my weather app shows rain all next week, so who knows.
Big day today for car fans. There's a total of seven auto auctions in the area starting today with Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, and the others following next week. Lots of money changing hands with some cars going to fetch up into the eight figures. You can either register to bid if you're a high-roller, or us common folk can just buy a ticket to look around. Those run from free (one small auction) to up to $190 for a full week pass to Barrett-Jackson. Most run around $40/day for adults, cheaper for kids, but no breaks for old folk. Lots to see, and if you're lucky, you might spot a celebrity or two. Jay Leno is sure to be there somewhere and lots of sports players with money just burning a hole in their pockets... Oh, speaking of that, Randy Jackson's house is also up for auction here in the area. It was on the market for $25,000,000, but is now going to go into a no reserve auction. If you want to bid, just plunk down $100,000 to register and show that you can afford to pay up if you are the winning bidder. We're passing on this and the other auctions, since I think we've got something else going on for those days....
Just think, buy a house with a 12-car garage and be able to fill it up with antique and rare cars, all at auction, and probably for less than $100,000,000 including taxes, fees and commissions.
