Black Series GT Auction

RM Sotheby’s will be auctioning the BS on June 15th

I’m going to start the over under at $477,000 https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/m...series/1098996

PS if you don’t know now you know www.classic.com tracks retail prices of all the cars we love. I’m in no way affiliated, but it has helped me with my addiction.

In today's frenzied luxury market I'd go higher. Over 500K USD easy. Nothing will surprise me.

Not sure what the market is like in Europe, and the starting msrp is higher there with VAT and all, but still I say under not including buyer's fees.

It doesn't have the track package or the buckets.

Great photos of the car. Truly stunning. I would take it in any colour if I am fortunate enough to get an allocation - but something about that orange really speaks to me.

Thank you for sharing.

Sometimes with charity prices can go nuts- I've done it a few times. So I am also on the way over 477K price. If I had a track nearby I'd go for it but even Laguna at less than 200 miles isn't something I have time to visit - unfortunately... I may start a thread asking for anyone's input in Nor or So Cal area's experiences with track days etc. I could try to get on board before I move to London end of year.

Also, I went to the website discussing DINAMICA suede and I get that they treat it with chems etc but it is kind of funny to me that they are using old T shirts- I was wondering if the armpit smell was me or the car

Agree about "Charity" distorting actual pricing and having nothing to do with establishing market value of the car.
What was the Corvette C8 selling for at Charity Auction?
If I remember correctly it was over a $1million ?

Most likely that price is the hammer price.
So add 15% up to 200K Euro, and 12.5% anything over 200K Euro

410K euros + 56K euros (buyers' premium) + VAT on the buyer's premium.

Since I picked over 477K do I win a Black Series? Is this one of those situations where the first guy to ask gets it? Please say yes

So it sold on the low end, should we be worried this is not going to be such a hot item? I don't want the value to go the way of the SLR.

That was what I was thinking too. The first few flips will possibly be the high water mark for perhaps a while.
Not a big issue in the short term for people that love the car and the brand, but I hope the flippers are now concerned.

Maybe in Europe, (although I'm not sure why that sale price would) but that's a completely different and unrelated market to the US one.

No one knows where the values will go with this car short, middle, or long term ... but this result is meaningless to anyone trying to gage the US market.

This forum and those who come offering cars and allocations are actual a better indicator of current market value until cars on the ground start going on sale in the US and real data points get created.

I am not going to read too much into this first sale either but at the same time I do think everyone was hoping for a much stronger number.
Maybe the next few sales are stronger; could have been a lot of factors why this car sold for what it did and will perhaps be an outlier.
I am not going to bet the farm on one data point either. We shall see when more cars start to change hands.
