He wanted $30K for it. Nice older guy and struck me as very honest.

You're right - it didn't sell yet. $24K is, was, or will be the high bid. Never know what will happen with the bid goes on program Mecum has. Cool that you got to see the truck in person and talk to the owner.

Ok that should tell you something . Think about it? was the high bidder a shill or the auctioneer pumping up the bid to try and get the price past the reserve ? Dog &Pony Show? If it looks swims and quacks like a duck is probably a duck!

No I don't believe so, I think the seller want's a specific amount for his truck. Obviously he has set a reserve price and is hoping the "walk away" method will work for him.
