One of my friends is coming back with a pocket full of cash but less two V-code Challengers.

Wow, admission was $25 last year.  $100 still bidder registration cost?  Bidder registration gets you a guest pass also, so if you are going to spend a few days and have a friend or spouse with you, it would be cheaper to register to bid than pay entry!
A few years back I recall spectator admission was $15.
Dana owns a mansion on Lake Geneva WI and has at least one Citation business jet now, so he's gotta pay those bills somehow, or should I say, we who attend, buy or sell at his auctions have to pay those bills for him! :2cents:

Wouldn't 70 grand cover what you want in Canadian dollars, Allan? Kijiji states 98 grand Canadian....

Mecum's registration and 10% buyer/s fees are way out of hand.
He essentially makes money on everyone else's property.  Nice deal.
Long Live the King!

Don't forget the TV money he is getting from merchandise sales, NBC Sports and all the advertisement (State Farm booth, Reliable Carriers, etc.).  He has built a money revenue stream from the ground up, nothing wrong with that.
