Sorry to hear they got another one of our fellow Cobra participates  |
Unfortunately you can not bid on your own car..But you can have a friend sign up for the auction and bid on your own car until he gets to the price you want..Then if some one does not out bid him/her then you are safe..If not then you just get to keep your car minus the seller and buyer fee..Its better paying the fees then losing your car for a major lost. You have to protect your investment..Be smart and play their game..You think that for one second that ALL of those cars are owned by different people bring it to the auction..HELL NO!! BJ owns a lot of cars that go across the block..They have their own people working in the audience biding until they get there expected price..If not they keep the car and put it up for sale in the Scottsdale office or wait a couple of years and try again..I was educated directly by BJ employee that I personally know and told on how it works..He will go nameless..Be smart people..
