Auctions, like Barret-Jackson, have totally ruined the collector car hobby for regular people. They've turned "I know what I got" syndrome into a pandemic.
I don't think it's the auctions fault, I think it's mostly the TV Shows that only show the really expensive cars and the suddenly everyone thinks every car worth 1.5M
I went to Mecum and the day I went no cars were selling at ridiculous prices but there was a guy who a $20k reserve on a 1998 Mustang even though that car is worth 8k tops
Or it’s money laundering.
@@mramisuzuki6962 that's exactly what I was thinking! 🤔
@@yurigodoy93 I agree. You see these TV hosts overpaying for garbage because, what the hell, not their money and suddenly anyone with a pile of car that hasn't completely rusted into the ground thinks it's worth at least 20k. The market is effed up.
I hate that things have been this way for long enough for this to become a series
My dreams of owning any of my childhood cars are all gone basically
Can't even own a gr yaris in the state side
@@paco4668 Yup. Old people with money are buying up all of our childhood dreamcars, only just to store them in garages and never let them see the light of the sun again. They only take them out once a year maybe, but then get the "guilty-feeling" of racking up miles, because then it will lose it's "value". Fucking hate car collectors, all they do is buy up nice cars with stupid money only to store them in garages.
@Saim K they also aren't car enthusiast they just do it to decorate their home
@@carguynewb7856 go to mexico
Imagine if you went back to the 60’s, and told a Camaro owner that one day their car would be worth 100x what it was, they’d be blown away
Yeah they would say, I’d be 90 so who cares
@@nelzelpher7158 People born in the 1960s are only in their 60s these days bud… i’m sure they would’ve cared and would love to have an additional 100k in their retirement fund lol.
@@OCMOONSHOTS so you think a camaro owner in the 60s was born in the 60s? Very smart
@@clarnus3712 Lol you knew what i was getting at little buddy
@@clarnus3712 You think someone in their 80s doesn’t care about having an extra 100k in their bank account? Very smart
I was at a Mecum Auction about a year ago.... Crazy. That's all I can say. It was pure lunacy.
Early in the day, they were auctioning all these beer signs, from this bar/restaurant in the area that was closing. The bids, were insane. I was literally pulling up on my phone, those exact signs, brand new, free shipping, for a quarter of what people were bidding.... Plus there's a buyers fee, above your bid..... which seems insane, when you say it out loud... I feel like my bid, is what I would PAY.... It feels very wrong, to then come in and say "yeah, there's a 10% buyers fee..." How is there a fee for being a buyer??? YOU NEED BUYERS!!!!
And the cars??? omg. There were cars there, that I know something about. I know what they go for. I know what they're worth. So a few, I kinda had a number in my head, that, yeah, look, maybe I overpay a little, but this car is nice.... Uhhh, yeah, negative ghostrider. The number in my head, TIMES FIVE, AT LEAST.
I honestly was like, did I take the wrong pills this morning??? Am I in an alternate state of reality??? What is happening here?
And to be honest, like, the last dozen auctions I went to, has been very similar. The numbers make no sense at all.... Even "regular" auctions, not these crazy ones, have gone nuts. The bidding gets to a point where it's crazy high, and then they announce "reserve not met, no sale", and I'm just like, what?!?!??! That's impossible...
I mean, look, there's always those auctions, where a rich person shows up, and unloads... And there are always those cars, like the #1 Supra, where it's going to charity, and the rich person doesn't even care, he/she needs the tax writeoff.... so they just pay, they literally don't even care, they need that donation receipt, for their taxes... So I get that, those prices are wildly inflated.... But regular cars, at regular goofy wholesale auctions... ???? I have no clue.
People go crazy stupid at auctions. I don't know about car auctions but I have been to several gun auctions. I have seen people pay several times the value for a gun that they could buy new in the store for a fraction of the price. I think they get caught up in the action and concentrate more on "winning" than they do getting a good price.
@@kaptnkarl01 "Auction Fever" is definitely a thing.... I've seen some things at gun auctions, but nothing compared to the car auctions I've been at in the last 24 months..... and in a gun auction, I mean, there is always the idea in your head, that, tomorrow, politicians could make it impossible to buy that item.... which, in the car world, is not really that huge of a concern.....
Sounds exactly like the art market. Really rich people selling stuff to each other driving up the price of their collection
...lol _mecum_
Every Donut host works so well and uniquely off every other one, there’s no way to decide my favorite combo
But these two definitely go pretty HAM…
Personally these two goofballs are my favs but I couldn't agree more that the whole squad is top tier.
I’d venture to say they go bologna
I don’t know man… James looked very uncomfortable when he was handing Jeremiah a new shirt 😅
My fav combo is Jeremiah and Zach, then James and Pumphrey, then Nolan and James
My favorite combo for sure
Donut should do their own fast and furious knock off. Make it like 30 minutes long. I think they could do a good funny one.
This is the second time I've seen this
or a netflix show that could be dope
ive seen this comment before
@@jettheading8219 why a Netflix show? What's the appeal? Something tells me the only thing you know about Netflix is that it plays shows sometimes, and anything more nuanced than that is beyond your grasp.
10 second runtime just to disable Traction Control
9:13 I love how Jeremiah was losing the game so he took his shirt off to flex his buff, ripped shredded body
7:12 Legendary PIC....
I'm convinced there's some massive underground money laundering scheme happening with these auction sites, because almost a million for an old Datsun (although rare and clean) is absolutely insane.
That's kinda what it is, same as the art market. You say it's worth X amount, and you use it as collateral for a loan of that amount, and then you pay no tax because it's not considered as capital gains or income or held capital. For tax purposes it's not money, from a financial services perspective it's just the same as money.
You aren't wrong. A real fun one is the absolute scam that was uncovered regarding sealed video game grading and sales. It's still being unraveled but it has it all from market manipulation, not disclosing relationships, stuff just keeps piling up.
@@gopatriots1991 If you've got a link or some resource I can see about this, I'm genuinely curious.
@@ifistedabear there's a guy called Karl Jobst which talked about it some time ago, look him up. Not related to him in any way, but that's where I first learned about this
What they didn't mention about the 432 is the gtr s20 engine they came with from the factory. Gtrs go for a million often
I remember my dad watching Barrett Jackson and they were auctioning the rights to the first Z06 C8 Corvette (not even off the production line yet) and I just double checked it sold for $3.7 million. Must be nice having that kind of money lying around.
Fairly sure Chevrolet do that for every first of each generation of corvette and the money is donated to charity
I would gladly buy number 2 for a much cheaper price then😂😂😂
I was at Barrett Jackson this year and they did the same thing with the first Escalade V the catch is that it’s a charitable donation so it’s 100% a tax write off
Ya it is nice. Sucker
@@joshuad1716 ya but it's still $3.7 million dollars. Tax write offs aren't like free money or anything it just helps a little with taxes in some cases.
Guys, you should do the guessing price by giving the point to the person who is nearer to the price rather than who is undervaluing the car.
It’s “Price is Right” rules
First 10 seconds and I already see the Wolfenstein font. This video's gonna be good.
Edit: Yep, same ol' Donut quality. Nice work guys! Also, kinda surprised I'm the only guy who noticed the Wolfenstein font used at 0:06
"I don't think anyone really wins".
Truer words have never been spoken. We all lose as car lovers when prices are this high. I guess I will go enjoy my Honda Accord because that's all I will be able to afford for a long time.
Auction Houses for Cars incl Websites have normal Prices for the same and similar Models shown in the Video here, i just checked the Archives of the past 12 Months and these US Car Auction Prices are obviously People abusing a Financial Loophole that is legal in the USA but illegal in most European Countries. Laws to avoid Artificial Inflation and "Insider Auctioneering" which obviously leads to inflated Prices and artificially pumps up Prices of certain Cars even though they don't go up in the Rest of the World.
This btw. is also why on Big European Car Marketplaces like "Mobile" a ton of People selling their Car (Both Private or Business) add to their Description or even in the Title:
"NO BUYERS FROM THE US/NORTH AMERICA" because as you can imagine with the Artificially Inflated Prices in the USA, a ton of US Dealers and Car Flippers try to import what they can get from over here to then sell it for 4x the Price in the USA
dude the new accords are sick, I have a 22 civic
This literally made my day. I love James reaction to how much someone paid for that hood! 😂🤣
The look of absolute disgust was hilarious
only the sun can LITERALLY make your day
@@ArchieStiglitz well… your not wrong. Lol but laughter is the best medicine. Even if the sun is not visible my day can be made.
I literally own a DC2R and thought James guess was pretty accurate.
@@_Zekken bruh… 12000 dollars 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 dafuk!? Ppl got stupid money… literally stupid money.
I could watch these videos of you guys guessing prices of stuff all day...even though seeing prices of this stuff is literally taking years off of my life

9:04 ah yes, super strong shirt by donut btw lol
7:53 The movie ‘Le Mans’ also has a ridiculous opening scene where nothing is said or done. A McQueen trademark lol
I saw some guy with a donut media on his nice red keep Cherokee and I HAD to yell, “MORE POWA BABEH” and instantly we had a good little moment in LA traffic. Love you donut media, thank you for being an epicenter of sorts for car enthusiasts of ALL sorts!!
Ohhh sick them three wheelers are bad ass… personally I love the light weight nimble feeling if a 125 2 stroke… but my dad had a 3 wheeler when he was my age and I’ve always wanted to ride one
Would be nice to see an Australian addition of this. Not to spoil anything, but the Ford XA GTHO Phase IV of only 3 officially made for racing and one private, with only three left in the world as the other one was wiped out in racing, sold for quite a bit of AUD.
It wasn't an official Phase 4, but pretty much is.
yesss with some old pristine patrols and landcruisers
I've got a hsv clubsport 2011 and the value of it is through the roof
And the GTSR
An Aussie version for two rare cars both owned by bowdens. Yeah, sounds worthy
Most of these crazy expensive “first production cars” are just charitable tax write offs. Awfully handy to write off $3.7m on your next IRS bill
I've been a part of two barrett jackson restomod builds so far, it's a wild experience to be sure. Especially when you stop and consider the amount of millionaires walking around
I'm one of the people who died on a 3 wheeler. Modern technology was able to save me lol it was about ten years ago on a yamaha 250r tir-z. Those were one of the craziest things to ride but will kill you on any turn lmfao
Gotta watch these auction sites.
They work with “Graders” to artificially over inflate market prices.
Check out Carl Jobst and his video on the same thing happening in the retro games market.
Im car reseller from Mongolia, never thought I would see USS Tokyo on Donut media.
@@bayanbatu6848 I mean we love jdms so it's not that surprising
This is basically what's happened with StockX and the shoe market. Jordan collectors predicted it when StockX and Goat first started and now it's just insanity all over. Nike SBs that were in Ross and Nike Outlets for $35 are going for up to $700. They're not well produced, uncomfortable, etc. Its crazy.
Watching James absolutely lose his mind during this game cracks me up! Thanks again boys!
Instant love and smacked the like button as soon I seen the ATC 250R, I've got two myself and love them!
These are the best Donut videos please never stop them
Entertaining yet hard to watch as always.
I don't care if they're "investments", at this point these people are just stupid
Could not agree more, especially on the part with people being stupid!
12k for a hood! cringy AF
@@RebelPMP 2.1 mil for a Supra. Dude that bought it got scammed 100%. That's like a 5,000% mark up.
I always say that the automotive market is turning into the art market, and a similar thing happened to the art market in the '80s. Works of art went from being bought because the buyer liked them, to works of art being bought solely as investments, thus seeing a huge increase in prices and wealthy people just buying works they have no emotional attachment to or actually care about and keeping them more from people who genuinely like the piece of art/artists. Art galleries had a harder time buying works, which is why you also see more art at galleries now from private collections. But with so much of it now being it private collections, a lot of it can be hidden away from public view. The art market now is even more of a scam, and even new art is treated solely as investments by people who only see dollar signs and not the work, itself. The works of Banksy being a prime example. You can also get a rigged market where certain artists are pushed by creating a false demand and manipulating prices to make their work appear to be worth more than it actually is. But going back to the automotive market, I do think the electric car future is also a factor is some of these prices, as people want to buy some of these rare cars as investments thinking that an electric car future will drive up the prices more on these ICE cars. That's also why I think some of the ICE cars are being bought brand new and instantly put away in collections.
@@Forzamon42069 it was a charity auction for America heart foundation so understandable
i love the Honda atc's, spent my high school days working in a bike shop that only worked on 70's to 90's Japanese bikes so we dealt with a fair few of them and the other brands of 3 wheelers, the owner of the shop was pretty much a pro at riding them, he would throw them up on two wheels around the turn to get in to the shop and hold them on the 2 wheels all the way through to his bench then would let them down onto the third wheel.
That shop owner sounds cool as fuck.
Love this especially since my dad grew up riding these and he freshly restored his honda atc so we’re hitting the dunes again. Won’t let me ride it though so super annoying
I also work at a Japanese bike shop and see a lot of them. I just rode a yamaha y zinger 60cc 3 wheeler. Really funny because it is so small
I have an 84 big red I ride around on the daily. while being a utility three wheeler it still absolutely rips around and beats out my friends 2022 500cc Honda utility quad. Three wheelers will give you the most fun youve ever had every time through and through.
@@jehdbrbjeirodofjdjebeebbsnaka best boss i ever had, great sense of humor, happy to teach everything he knew, and stories for days each one worth hearing, the shop was only a means to fund his own bike addiction but due to that he'd happily turn away customers if their bike wasn't a 70's to 90's Japanese bike and Tuesday nights we all invited over our mates and worked on our own projects after hours, paradise in a way.
3:00 sneaking in with the BONK!
I actually really like this style where it's "the price is right" but instead of being competitive is just agony XD
USS Tokyo is the largest auction in Japan.
And actually the numbers that have been coming out of there on regular Japanese sports cars that most of us think of when thinking JDM car have actually been going down more and more every month.(all S chassis especially S15, 3 star and lower skylines, and also cars like the Mark 2 with a jzx 90, or the Chaser with the jzx 100, and even the toyota century
all of the cars I've mentioned , which are what most people were surprised the price went up so quick have been actually losing huge amount in selling value, OR not even coming close to meeting the reserve.
everyone kind of knew that there was a bubble. but it looks like it is really about to , "if not burst" , at least "let some air out "
As for the cars you spotlighted in here. those REAL collectors cars, and also like the Skyline R34 V-spec Nur, and cars like the R33 Nismo 400R., and the Tommy Makinen Evo VI, and of course certain Supras. . there are still more like that .those types of super rare iconic cars that were produced in low numbers, they seem to be the only ones holding value.
Also i wanted to add. if you are thinking about using Japanese auctions PLEASE have someone on the ground there.
all of the auction houses over there seem to be pretty crooked. taking money for higher ratings is like well known over there.
also some of these japanese mechanics, and or car flippers are genius, and dirty. in some cases ive seen where they will just spray paint right over rust, and these mechanics can rig stuff like no other, and the sellers have become masters in photography.
so it is worth it, to pay the person, on the ground over there to go to the auction site or shop to see the car in person.
Also, if you ar in the car community, there is probably a friend of a friend willing to check out a car for you
peace, Eturn
@@theeturnone yes definitely have someone overseas check out a car before you buy
7:05 sus laugh LOL
I saw that Porsche while driving for Mecum that year. I was questioning why someone would bid on a busted 959 if it was special or not.
I hate how they can't go over. It's like playing darts but you have to land on the right side of the board. The bullseye is in the middle is still the goal, but everything on the left is off limits for no reason.

yeah i remember Trikes being a byword for death-trap when growing up, How brilliant Honda; making the Reliant Robin wheel layout into an high speed all terrain vehicle.

James’s face at 10:13 speaks to just how ridiculous this is lol
Since it wasnt brought up in the video the 2 charity's were the American Heart Association and Bob Woodruff Foundation (goes to post 9-11 impacted families and service members). The supra was also a "special edition" and autographed by the ceo of Toyota.
People must earn money very easily!! Great video!! Totally insane results
this is one of the funniest ones because you guys are blown away by the prices people are paying.
These videos are amazing! Great content, low effort, HIGH return! Please make this concept a series with different variations.
6:17 import mk3 snob*
Yeah I agree, its crazy how high the prices have rocketed up. Its like everyone saved money 2 years during the panic and had too much money on hand and are too eager to buy.
I love when y'all do these videos. Please keep them coming. Y'all do an amazing job with everything.
10:05 I’ve never laughed so goddamn hard in my life.
The z432 also should have a nissan s20 engine that was in the hakosuka gtr, though some of them had the l28 put back in due it being cheaper to opperate for racing. Which is a similar situation to a lot of hakosuka gtrs that were purchased and used for racing.
Just wanna point out the 432 Z they looked at was missing one big fact. If I recall, this version of the Z had the same engine that came in the skyline. Killer cars!!
I ride my 1985 ATC250R as a daily in the dunes and people always think its illegal for me to own it. 🤣
Ya know what would be a real hoot? Watching these two do a REAL Muscle car content video. Even make it easy like guess production numbers of the rarest muscle cars. lol
We all know that James secretly bought all these cars and that’s why he knows how much they went for 😂
Loved when the Datsun Z432R came up. There is a Z432 in my neighbourhood here in Tokyo in great condition. Not the "R" model, but still pretty rare to see these days.

I like this format for the series, it evens the playing field and highlights some pretty interesting vehicles in the process.
If I’m selling a Honda Accord for $150K and You buy it…that means that I’m getting out of hand OR You are getting out of your MIND?? 🤔 So I don’t blame the Auction.
I just bought my Supra for $60k so hearing that someone bought the same generation Supra for $2.1 million absolutely blows my mind. So what if it's the first in production it's not worth that much. I absolutely love the reactions to that one!
$2.1 million is just CRIMINAL

My family owned the bullit mustang after the movie. My great grandfather kept it in a garage for a very long time and kept it a secret to everyone. After he died it was passed on to my uncle and he sold it at a kissmee auction in 2020 because the secret was out that everbody knew where the car was
Those 3 wheelers were a blast.
I remember when the LFA didn’t sell well and someone just smelled future classic maybe and basically garaged it.
and like last year since September clout chasers found out that it exists and now it's trending and suddenly everyone wants one and the prices went through the roof not to mention the hype and the simping for that sound that it makes in the cabin frim the intake and ITBs
That’s happened a bunch with Toyotas , I mean the 2000GT was the exact same way like 50 years before. Toyota always overshoots on its flagships but then people realize that the amount of craftsmanship Toyota puts into its flagships is unlike any other car company, and so they shoot up in value after the fact…

You have to know how to lean in and out of turns, stability at high speeds is minimal, but wow they are a blast. I have yet to ride a quad, only experienced them three wheelers. I wouldn't suggest anyone to ride a ATV, its fun, but yea they are dangerous. Friend's Dad messed up his back from a flipped ATV too.

Hey Donut I love this auction guess game. Also congratulations James. What happened to wheel house and up to speed those are my favorite segments. Also you should do more of the versus segment. Y’all did M3vsS4 y’all should do wrangler vs land cruiser or three way f150/ram/Silverado. Keep up the good work.
Thank you James for your comment on "Bullitt". I was thinking to watch it and you totally made me change my mind!
I live next to the Barret Jackson where that 2 million Supra sold. still one of the craziest things I ever saw happen lol

Yenko 427 camaro was one of my dream cars growing up
The atc is completely safe. It's the ride not the machine. I still have a Honda atc will never get rid of it.
y'all should do an up to speed on the Honda 3 wheeler. I've never heard of why they were so bad before. Also, love y'alls videos!
It's the braking and turning that sometimes results in a forward rollover. I used to ride on the back with a friend. One day he crashed so bad he dented the gas tank with his groin. His entire groin and privates was black and blue. He was fortunate to still have kids after that... I got quads for myself by the time I could buy my own. The 3 wheelers were scary.
The problem was they felt as stable as a quad to ride but they truly were not much more stable than a dirt bike so if you drove it like a quad you’d roll over, but if you drove it like a bike with an extra wheel you’d be fine, just a middle level machine that was marketed at the wrong group
@@cole2526 That may have been true in flat areas like Ocotillo, but not in the sand dunes of Glamis. A motorcycle can ride in a straight on the steep side of a sand dune. Our 250R could do it at speed in a bowl, but on a straight face it would just roll over.
I'm talking about cutting across the face of a dune, not climbing straight up.

You don't get it, Donut = there are many billionaires/mobsters who do not know what to do with their money. This raises the price in everything = housing, real estate, cars, etc.It's also a form of laundering (they get most of those money back "under the table").
It's the fact that the range varies so wildly there's no telling what the price is gonna be
Jerry and James a good moderation team
Watch Bullitt and count how many hubcaps fall off the charger 🤣
These prices are absolutely insane. The first Supra off the line is an exception because it was auctioned by Toyota with the proceeds specifically going to the AHA and the Bob Woodruff Foundation. They did give it a one of a kind paint job and wheels for a stock Supra as well.

Just payed $2,200 for a 2019 Ford fiesta ST from an old lady that had no clue the "knocking" was not the 1.6 liter 4 cylinder 220 hp turbocharged engine, but was in fact a $15 wheel bearing that took about an hour to replace. It's also a German assembled vehicle, not the Mexican made version. Pretty epic since they sell for 30k+ now.
@@ianvisser7899 She didn't really like the vehicle because it's dark grey, and she wanted black. Also its a manual which she said she wanted to learn, but she ended up just not driving it. She had a really nice Lexus as a daily, so I assume she's pretty well off. I offered 3,500 at first, but she wanted it gone. Said I could drive down that day and pick it up if she would go to the mid 2k mark since I paid for a tow, and the gas. (She was about 400 miles away, took six hours one way but it was 110% worth it)
I didn't know at the time that the knock was just a bearing, so I had it towed for safety. The tow cost me about another $650, and gas cost about another $200
I was prepared to put about 4-5K into it which I let her know, thats the main reason she let it go. I feel a tad bad about it, but she was a very sweet lady so I hit her up to let her know the issue was just a bearing. She said it wasn't worth the hassle for her and still sent over the title while telling me "I'm glad I could bless someone" so it seems like a win win all around. :)
@@canis_machina7280 I’m glad you told her what the real problem was and that she was still with the price she sold it for
Quads have proven to be just as dangerous 😂
The price on that Supra made my brain go into sleep mode for a few seconds there, wow.
When I was 12 years old my dad taught me how to use a clutch on a Honda 250R exactly like that one!!! Then I got to ride his RM125R regularly.
