Abandoned Auto Auction Results!

Whew, that was a busy bit of car auctions today in Norfolk! The top seller was a 1969 Mustang that sold for $7200, followed by the newest car up for bids, a 2013 Dodge Dart that went for $4900.
Let's review the selling prices compared to our predictions and see how many we got right vs. wrong. As usual, we reserve the right to judge these ourselves in an effort to make our lame predictions sound better than they really are!

Estimated 800:
Sold 1800. That's a loss, our record is 0-1

Mazda RX8 estimate 500:
Sold 2800. 0-2, and not looking good!

Caddy CTS estimate 1200:
Sold 350. I should stop doing this, 0-3

Dodge Dart estimate 400:
Sold 4900, 0-4, a perfect record!

Ford van estimate 850
Sold 1400, not terrible, not great, so wrong, 12-26

GMC van estimate 850
Sold 1400, enough of this nonsense! 12-27
 Overall probably the worst I've done at the auction guessing game, so maybe I need to retire from this little game and stick with something I'm good at! As soon as I find anything I'm good at, I'll stick with it.
