Classical Event Auctions had their first car auction this past Labor Day weekend. While Friday and Saturday started off slow, Sunday made it all worth it!
I had the privilege of riding in the Saturday night Cruise-In parade with my brother...the car???ohh...it was just a simple FERRARI!!!! It was cool! We took up the street legal Indy car and 3 Ferrari's! I couldn't talk Phil into goofing around with the Ferrari because, "It isn't mine and I don't want to screw it up!" Oh well! We had fun anyways!
Sunday turned out to be a great day for us. We had several pieces of taxidermy to sell for a family friend who will be starting her second tour of duty over seas next week. She needed to downsize and decided to sell her grandfather's taxidermy. Our full mount polar bear sold for over 6K. At 2pm, Ayron and Ryan Jernigan (he was one of our auctioneers) sold the Dusenberg for $1 million! Ryan was ecstatic because that was the highest he had ever auctioned off a car! Ayron was excited because that sale put Classical Event Auctions on the map. We can proudly say that of the 3 auction companies in DeKalb County last weekend, we sold the most expensive car! We currently have some post sale deals in the works for the Ferrari's and things just keep getting better!
I can say that we learned a lot from this first auction. We are in the middle of discussing how to change things and better promote our company. But we are proud to say that we managed to blow the other two companies out of the water our first year by selling the most expensive car!
