My favorite show was when he revealed on camera that the auction company reserves the right to bring the bidding up to the reserve (aka the Chandelier is bidding). Of course, unless the bidders are smart, they may not know they are bidding against the chandelier until that last magic bid when they hit the reserve. One thing that may be a bit misleading to a novice is the actual time span required to clean up some of these cars. Because of editing, it looks like the Davis was fully restored in 3 weeks. In real life, in a professional shop, you are talking months if not years. It would be interesting to know if he thinks the show has helped or hurt his actual business. The obvious answer that most people would think was that it helped a lot but I'm not 100% sure of that. If he's making buys and sells specifically to support the show and a story line that could start to take away from the real business.
