Goblin in the Barret Jackson Auction Lineup!

[lewblin]

Our goblin made it to the docket of the Barrett-Jackson auction next week! Maybe a small notoriety step for the DF showcase to this group.. but certainly some new attention out there! Its a no reserve auction, so also some potential here score a deal if you're in the market

Will be interesting to see how this goes.

Blue Man titled it in 2023, and posted finished pictures of that goblin in 2024, according to this forum.
The auction is January 17-25, 2026, Scottsdale Arizona. I wonder when it will cross the auction stage?

I think its going to be a super cool debut mostly to people who have never seen one.. interesting for sure! It'll cross the stage Monday the 17th. I tried to get them to put it in the main days but that was a longshot

 

[SuperMotoHero]

This is awesome, can’t wait to see how it does! Should we start speculating on price??

Its either going to be a "thats cool, gotta have it price" or a "base model" price. Whatever it ends up... I hope it sells higher than we expect to keep our values high.

Auctions are tricky, especially ones like BJ or mecum. If you are in a good slot, the price will usually be higher due to the crowd there, or “that looks cool, I’ll spend a few bucks to buy it”. If it’s at an odd time, it may not get traction. If a few people are specifically looking for something like that, it’ll be a good showing.

Be sure to have it completely detailed so it shows well regardless. Hopefully it’ll make it on tv even if not in a prime spot.

 

[lewblin]

full detail is currently underway. Also I'm fixing that seal leak (maybe seen from the blue man build) so its tip top to cross the stage

 

[Rttoys]

With the low lot number, I’m assuming it’ll go across the line first thing tomorrow?

 

[lewblin]

it goes Monday the 19th around 2pm. Doors open tomorrow at the auction for people to start looking around.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Hypothetically I could be there in person and drive the bidding price up... But have a supplier meeting all day, sorry.

 

[lewblin]

Ahh shame! Keep that mobile page up

 

[Blizzard25]

My comfort level to drive up the price is $20. But by god we're getting you over that $20 mark.

 

[comegetjoe]

For those curious.

 

[lewblin]

I think we can say barrett not quite ready for the goblin yet.. or maybe just the beginning.. who knows

 

[Rttoys]

I watched it. It was painful I didn’t want to bump the thread.

 

[David]

Wow that was a gift for who ever got it.

 

[Blizzard25]

Oof, was there a reserve?

 

[Rttoys]

BJ doesn’t do reserves
