A man accused of scamming almost $3.7 million from an order of nuns added so many extras to some of his cars and SUVs that it’s hard to set a value on them for a bankruptcy auction, the auctioneer says.A Jaguar XJ8, a Cadillac Escalade and several Chevrolet Avalanches headline more than 40 cars, trucks and other vehicles confiscated from Woodrow Hayes Jr. after he was indicted on fraud charges.”It’s like the MTV show `Pimp My Ride,’” auctioneer Danny Lawler said Saturday, after about 150 people came to look at the items to be auctioned Nov. 5 at Lawler Auction Co.

The auction was scheduled after attorneys for the nuns and for two other creditors convinced the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to put Hayes into involuntary bankruptcy. Proceeds will go to those creditors.

Lawler said that, for the nuns, he reduced his company’s commission from 10 percent to 9 percent and is not charging them for expenses that the customer usually would pay for, such as towing the vehicles and paying the sheriff’s deputies who guarded Saturday’s showing.

“We might get 2 or 3 percent by the time it’s over,” he said.
