Survey on Collector Car Market Consolidation
We want your feedback! <\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>
David C.R. Neyens, Motorcopia<\/td><\/tr>
The collector car market you think you know is disappearing. <\/strong>DuPont\/RM Sotheby’s, Hagerty, and Gooding\/Christie’s aren’t just running auctions anymore\u2014they’re building complete ecosystems that control everything from the content you read to the hammer that falls on your next purchase. I’ve analyzed the structural changes in Part 1, but I can’t see what you’re experiencing firsthand. Your perspective is the missing piece. <\/strong>

Take 2-3 minutes to complete this survey and help shape Part 2’s analysis of what these trends actually mean for all of us. I’ve been in this business for 18 years. What’s happening right now? I’ve never seen anything like it. duPont\/RM Sotheby’s\/Canossa, Hagerty, and Gooding\/Christie’s are building complete, vertically integrated ecosystems – controlling everything from online and print content to live and online auctions. And virtually everything related to collector cars in between.

Here’s why I’m emailing you: <\/strong>I can see the structural changes, but I can’t see what you’re experiencing firsthand. What are you seeing? <\/strong>
