BEHIND THE SHADES                           ALL OF US AT BARRETT-JACKSON, AS A TEAM – and
                                                          me in particular, working with the consignments and
                                                          building the docket – couldn’t be more excited about
                                                          the prospect of live events again. We had so many
                                                          hurdles to overcome initially, just contemplating
                                                          whether we were going to postpone or not hold our
                                                          events, through no fault of anyone, just by virtue of this
                                                          virus and all the unknowns it caused.
                                                          But the Barrett-Jackson family put our heads together
                                                          and came up with the idea that if we were going to put
                                                          on a live event and be as effective as we could be, where
                                                          better to do that than our home town? With home field
                                                          advantage, we can stage this in a place we’re all familiar
                                                          with – and we’re very, very conscious of all the things
                                                          we’re going to need to do to make this successful.
                                        Steve Davis        Those who join us in October will have the incredible
                                    STEVE DAVIS’ DARK GLASSES   opportunity to experience, for the first time ever, a
                                                          second Scottsdale event – something that’s never been

                                                          done before, and that’s really an exciting prospect.
                                    SENSITIVITY CONDITION – BUT
                                                          Scottsdale is that hallowed ground – the place where
                                  THAT DOESN’T HINDER HIS VISION
                                                          everybody comes to experience what you can only

                                                          experience in Scottsdale. Granted, it will be a “scaled-
                                                          down” version of our annual January event, but I think
                                                          it will not, in any way, be less exciting or less fruitful for
                                                          all our consignors and bidders.

                                                          been talking to – from a consignment standpoint
          TO ADD TO THE EXCITEMENT, AND AGAIN REINFORCE WHY
                                                          particularly – have just been overjoyed. I think it
