Don't know why I'm so interested in a car I'd not want but hey it's not every day you see one on TV. 
Anyone Else Watch the Barrett Jackson Auctions?

its next...
getting decent attention...sold at $56k though.
Sold at $56k.
LOW for a 3000 mile car. too modified.
BJ is not the correct place to sell an NSX. wrong audience.

p.s with the 10% buyer's commission that works out to be $61,600 out the door.
Yes. The seller pays BJ 8% on no-reserve auctions if memory serves. This auction is all no-reserve because of it's popularity. So on that $56K sale:
BJ collects $5,600 from the buyer and $4,480 from the seller. The seller only netting out $51,520 minus costs to get it there and prep it for auction. MAYBE $50K. Like has been said, BJ is not the place for Imports...yet. In 20 years when all the baby-boomers are dead and teh Fast-and-the-Furious crowd has all the money...it will be very different. Low mileage and stock FD's, 300ZX TT's, Supra TT's and NSX's will be huge money.
The buyer is in for $61,600 plus transport out of there...not to mention the $500 it costs to just be a bidder.
It's fun to be there if you can. I've been twice now and it's a car-guy mecca.
BJ making over $10K on a $56K sale. Not bad.

Just sold $68k, no action on it. Not sure it r and s is the right venue for it.
was it on reserve?
Yes, came off at $67k. Really no action. Russo and Steele is an auction best reserved for Euros and muscle. Probably would have done more at Gooding, strong overseas bidding would hit $80k for sure.
I also LOVE listening to those two brits who do most of the gavel work at RM and Gooding. The guys on the stand at BJ and Mecum give me a headache.
I'm thinking no auction is any place for a nice NSX. I don't even understand why guys try to sell sub-50K muscle cars at auction when you have the Internet working for you.

Wow, that is a surprise! IMO someone got a deal
I get slightly jealous when I watch them. To have a career being surrounded by your hobby and other passionate fans where you provide a service that won't go out of style and requires little to no inventory management or quality/warranty concerns would be too fun.
My buddy was there - sent me pictures of that NSX. Too modded for me and @ 6'4" I'd never fit in it. Plus, I LOVE my NA1!
Reggie Jackson bought the F-40 for $675,000. Announcers mentioned it was "wrecked heavily" and rebuilt
F1 Car went for near 2 mil. That would've sat nicely in my living room.
Was that the one on Fast and Loud (Gas Monkey Garage)?
Was at Barrett Jackson last night.. grabbed some pics to post here
I didn't like the stereo setup behind the seat, the rear lower valence color match was off slightly but might have been the lighting in the "barn"
security lady was being a bitch and would not open the door for a picture
Here ya go

Interesting with all the tobacco advertising restrictions these days, how the Marlboro lettering had to be blurred. Ironically, I like your avatar
