Being intelligent enough, the auction companies are using the "without reserve"-option more and more and -different as at Duemila Ruote auction- many of the estimates a not met and Ferraris are sold a lot lower than the lower estimate.
Here are Bonhams results from Amelia Island. For comparison, we add some average prices of the cars from three years ago to get an impression of the price development. For the moment, we are sure that price development takes a healthy setback. F-Register will keep an eye on it for the next auctions.
