The Get Out N Drive Podcast Is Fueled By AMD
We get the firsthand inside scoop from Bobby Adams about his experience with Mecum Auctions. Bobby tells us he was bidding on a 1956 Continental Mark II at a recent Mecum auction in Scottsdale Arizona. He bid $31,000 on the car and he thought he won it. NOPE! He quickly learns that the auctioneer says sold, bangs his hammer, and still keeps taking bids and the car ultimately sells for $33,000 to another bidder. Mecum's current stance is that the auctioneer didn't say sold before another higher bid came in. They have responded with an email telling him that he is wrong. An original video from @bobbyadamsworld on social media even shows the car as sold for $31,000 on Mecum's official tote board. Listen to Bobby's account of the incident and let us know what you think. Did he get shafted?
