2024 was another record-setting year for Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale, breaching $200 million in total sales for the first time. Contributing to the record total were several individual marque/model records. Customized vehicles were the most common genre with examples at hand at every turn. Most were beautifully conceived and executed and many were built specifically for […]

For reasons known only to Craig Jackson and Steve Davis Barrett-Jackson decamped some 350 miles east from the NRG Center in Houston to the Ernest M. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans after only two years in Houston. The result was not astounding with everything down by material amounts from what B-J was able to […]

It was sixteen years ago, in 2008, that Barrett-Jackson first ventured to Las Vegas. Held at the Mandalay Bay Hotel’s arena where as is common in casino design getting to the auction arena meant traversing the gaming area. They hope you’re going to be beguiled by the constant commotion, lost in the deliberately confusing layout […]

“The Original” Barrett-Jackson, January 15-29, 2023

Tags: ,

Very few auctions earn the distinction of being described only as “Barrett-Jackson” but that’s the sobriquet applied to B-J’s annual January auction at WestWorld in Scottsdale. It was the original and it remains – despite the spawn of imitators and competitors – one of a kind. Not that it has remained the same, however, evolving […]

Sometimes auctions come back for a reprise of a first time venue and struggle to produce the first year’s hype and results. Not so with Barrett-Jackson’s return for its second year at Houston’s NRG Center where the cars, the docket and the money were consistent with their first year in 2021. B-J makes a fetish […]

Las Vegas has long seemed like Barrett-Jackson’s spiritual home, a place where glitz and gambling are part of the atmosphere, where Barrett-Jackson’s showmanship and promotion fits like a glove. B-J’s clients have agreed, consigning 600-700 cars almost every year and seemingly effortlessly selling nearly everything that crossed the block even during the early 2010’s when […]

Barrett-Jackson came back with a bang from the delayed 2021 Scottsdale auction, but more significantly from the years before with their low $100 million sale totals, putting up a record total that eased over $200 million with automobilia. It wasn’t that long ago where every possible transaction was pulled into the total to break $100 […]

Houston’s NRG Arena has been a Mecum venue since 2012 with an April date … except for 2020 when everyone’s regular dates seemed to go out the window. It’s been a steady Mecum performer with consignments of 700-1,000 lots, solid sell through rates around 70% and total transactions running into the $20 million range (ignoring […]

Since its first event in 2008 Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction has been held at the Mandalay Bay in late September-early October. But no less than holding the Scottsdale extravaganza in March the Las Vegas date shifted to mid-June and at the new Convention Center. B-J can be glad it did because the $45,905,233 total (just […]

This report is updated with full auction results and changes to some of the transactions. Don’t let something like Covid-19 interfere with a long-standing tradition like Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction. Just push it back two months as Covid-fatigue and vaccinations of older Americans (B-J’s primary market) opens up the gates to WestWorld for bidders and spectators. […]
