Preview (beginning of the article)
Like RM/Sotheby's and Bonhams, Gooding & Co normally holds a traditional face-to-face auction at the Scottsdale Concours in the USA. But while the two competitors continued their tradition in January 2022, Gooding decided to hold the auction in "shared online" mode. 57 cars worth USD 8.6 million went under the hammer virtually between January 24 and 28, 2022. However, Gooding did not want to leave it entirely without an on-site presence, so registered bidders were at least able to inspect the cars on site in Scottsdale. On average, the cars were estimated at just under USD 150,000, which is certainly at the lower end of what we are used to when compared to traditional Gooding auctions. Bidders were even more stingy, offering an average of 93 percent of the median estimate, bringing the total sale to USD 6.8 million.
