It also helps if you throw in a trip to Daytona with a NASCAR driver. One driver's new, hideously modified Toyota Tundra wasn't getting $30k in bids till he announced the winner could go to Daytona with him next year, and boom... $100k.

BJ is also know for their shady charities. They had a Wounded Warriors clone sell a car and raise $100k+ "for the troops", when in fact, the chairty was rated as one of the worst.
