The atmosphere at the auction reminded me of going to a dealer auction back in the day. Lots of guys standing around talking and not really paying attention.
I agree the Mecum auctions get a little old with the "Bid goes on". With that said if you go back to the website a couple days later many of those cars show sold. Again being skeptical I do wonder if they actually sold. The AMX was at Mecum in Chicago a few months ago and didn't sell with a "bid" of 200,000.00. I'm sure the pop machine had the bid at that point. It continued to show "the bid goes on" last time I looked.
I do like the way Barrett Jackson does it. If its there it sells.
