    Thanks for posting this, Alex. It really gives me such a surreal experience like I'm actually at an auction without me having to be there. I have anxiety and get anxiety attacks in crowds like these, preventing me from doing cool things like this. It means a lot that you post these things to people like me who enjoy auctions and collectibles but can't actually go. Keep up the great work! Love from Texas.

    Alex Jarvis had a nice collection. That first auctioneer is good. Whoever bought the Honda for $20,000 made a good investment! Wish you could have got that McLaughlin for $6,500. The Steam engine is awesome! Don't see them at action to often. Thanks for sharing this auction, we really enjoyed it.

    This was so much fun. I loved the old cars that actually had beautiful lines. I appreciate the fact that people like yourself appreciate quality and sturdy craftsmanship. Today’s plastic will never last as long as these beauties have.
    Thanks for bringing us along.

  • @tinovanderzwanphonocave544

    when collections are auctioned off that's a great way to find a treasure for cheap in a lot of cases everything will have to go and if there's tons of stuff it is very likely that a lot of buyers will be broke by the second half of the auction simply because they bought things they didn't want in the first place I got some real treasures that way just stick it out till the end

    you should have bid on the 1918, it has been by far the best so far. and better than 10,000, if it had the top, which seems it did. The engine on those has brass, as well as a lot of attachments outside. the brass could be shined, to really be an eye catcher.

  • @richardnankivell6451
    @richardnankivell6451 Před 5 lety +3

    High prices were paid for these vehicles considering the huge amounts that will have to be spent to restore them. Rusty, damaged bodies, an overhaul to the running components including the engine and gearbox, re-upholstering, replace missing glass, lighting and instrument repair. Most of these vehicles weren't the ultimate classics either. And oh yes! that annoying auctioneer, if I were bidding, it would be hard to follow his price increments.

    Guessing a good percentage of that auction went for four figures plus....I'm thinking the old guy in the light blue coveralls, leaning against the steam engine, was wanting it but, 30Gs was his cap as he walked away at that point. Honda went for a little more than I was guessing. That motorcycle car kind of looked like a Bricklin in the front. I was thinking how cool it would be to swap out the Kawasaki with a Harley.

    Hi Alex. Thanks for another great video! I have been to several auctions here in the UK but get the "fever" much too quickly! One thing about US/Canadian auctions, I would not be able to handle the auctioneer "signing" the bids and the "bid touts" shouting, I had to mute the volume just to watch the video! UK auctions are very civilized, you won't go home with a headache!!!

      Curiosity Incorporated im betting it gets restored or returned to servicable status at the least. Most of the guys that hunt them can rebuild them, get them recertified too. There are only so many to be bought, there are many more enthusiasts than tractors. Some of that early stuff (cars)seemed too cheap. Thanks for sharing
