Nice trucks, That barbecue outdoes the big one that was at my cousin's son's wedding a few years ago.

I watched all too many hours of the Barrett Jackson auction and thought that there were some pretty decent bargains on Chevy and GMC trucks earlier in the week and possibly some sellers that were a bit disgruntled at the prices. Prices were all over the place for the whole auction and I only came even close on the Fantasy bid once or twice out of ten times I put a bid in.

Fresh builds that hadn't had much exposure or been shown too much seemed to bring a premium though. Trucks that had been built a few years ago and had been shown indoors and out and in a magazine or two seemed to not bring what the sellers thought they should even though the brought good prices. In those cases though you always have someone elses "Old" truck unless the truck has a lot of real history behind it then you are just it's caretaker.
