MECUM Auction Live TV Series on HD Theater a Huge Success

"Collector Cars Represent Excellent Variety and Something for
Everyone"
INDIANAPOLIS--(Business Wire)--
MECUM Auction's new TV series is a huge success by all measures.
In the first two weeks of the MECUM Auto Auction: Muscle Cars and
More! live show, more than $3m worth of muscle, Corvette and other
classic cars have found new owners from coast-to-coast. Many have come
to bid in person during the auctions. Others have purchased cars
remotely through telephone and Internet bids which are an integral
part of the auction process allowing people to participate from around
the world. The show airs live from the Indiana State Fairgrounds on
Saturday evenings in HD TV on Discovery's new HD Theater channel.

Auction founder Dana Mecum comments, "If bidding during the live
auction doesn't meet the sellers' expectations, we continue to work
hard after the auction to make the sale happen. We offer a program
called The Bid Goes On to assure our sellers get maximum dollar value
for their collector car." Over 150,000 people were drawn to the
auction website www.MECUMauction.com this past weekend where visitors
can view cars still on offer, buy a car and sign up to bid at the next
auction.

"This is a fun auction for both buyers and sellers to participate
in and anyone can sign up at our website to bid at one of our live
auctions," notes Mecum. The Saturday evening live auctions have
offered a variety of cars ranging from Saturday's high sale of
$233,625.00 for a 1963 Z06 Corvette to quality muscle cars in the mid
$20,000.00 range. "There is truly something for everyone at this
auction from cars a buyer might keep as part of an investment
collection to cars you can take to the roads and bring to the
occasional car show," notes John Kramer, MECUM Auction Sales Manager.
