Just as an aside, "museum quality" means different things to different people. To me it means a bunch of cars that have not been maintained. Most museums are not the Nethercutt collection. The trade off is simple, if you don't want to pay a professional auction house to do the work then you need to do it yourself via ebay. This will take longer and require much more effort on the seller's part. There is no guarantee that you make more money doing it yourself. Barret Jackson does not do on site estate auctions. Depending on the cars RM, Bonhams, Christies, and perhaps Gooding would be appropriate for higher end cars. There are many regional outfits that would be appropriate for liquidating lesser cars. As for the Miller Stutz auction, if it was held today they would do it the same way. The prices realized were crazy and everyone who was into Stutz participated.
