One of the things I do with Mecum , or , any auction I can , is use the Live
T.V. Coverage from their web - site .
It allows me to watch a live feed , and Skip ALL of the commercials AND the continuous verbal assault from the T.V. talking heads .
Plus , you never have to miss a car ... Way more enjoyable ..
Cheers , JT

Watching it right now - I DVR'ed it to avoid the incredible amount of commercials they shoehorn in during the breaks - I counted 11 alone during one seemingly really long one.

Kind of cool - 68 H/O #183 just went across the block - mine is #184.

the commercial breaks only come around when you are waiting to see something go across...
last week on BJ, I watched for almost 4 hrs, waiting for the 69 W32 convertible to hit the stage, and what happen...they cut to a commercial as the car was approaching the stage.....


and today, at Mecum, waiting for a conv 4 sp to come across, they did the same thing....


I will try the live stream next time....


sorry about the rant....

I feel your pain, I waited for a while for an 64 Dodge Polara a few years back, just as it was pulling up, same thing commercial. I watch it on the internet also.

now that's a good idea, watch it on the internet because I also HATE all the commercials they throw in. In fact, I've changed the channel because the commercials ruin the auction experience.


so just login to mecum.com and they have a link to watch from their website?

All you have to do is sign into Mecum infonet . Then the current , as well as all Auctions in their history are available for review . The Mecum web site and historical search are about ummmmmmmmmm 100 times better than Barrett - Jackson's site .
What is kinda fun is to search the History of Sales for a particular year and model . Then , you can see trends for years , and specific parts of the country , or dates . Then , you also see EXACT same cars being the Auction Queens , that some of them become . Same car and images , 2 - 5 years old . Kind of scary .
Then you can get into what level of restoration , AND OR , what level of Clone - Tribute - Replica that a particular vehicle MIGHT be available ..
Then , the fascination begins ... Good luck Longhorn... Take your T.V. out of the equation .. Way more fun.. JT
