Why sell for $90K when cars with paint work and missing binders are bringing well over $100K?

I have not seen an R sell for well over $100k. Where should I look for that?

I saw the 2500 mile one with all binders, no damage, sell on BaT for $98,000....yesterday.

The one on BAT for 98k did not have any paperwork. It had a replacement wing, crappy paint job, splitter was painted and I believe the hood was as well.

after BAT fees, that’s 102,900 to the buyer

I just relooked at the ad. It says it came with all manufacturers literature, but you're right, didn't come with the binder. The wing did have bad craftsmanship.

It's $98,000 to the buyer, and the 5% fee to BaT.

I did some digging and found an old mecum auction for that car. The binder was present so the previous owner was correct that he did sell it with the binder. I assume owner 2 or 3 is hoarding it. I knew right away the car had paint work when i saw the wing bolts were painted over. The seller claimed no paint work but I knew he was lying and the 1st owner confirmed it, dealers.

Rather than "dealers" why not say "people"?

Just out of curiousity.

no doubt people play games but we have all heard of endless dealer nightmares and lies so their reputation is well earned. on top of that the original owner sent the dealer selling the car pictures of what seemed to be the damage and when i asked the seller to post it he gave the excuse that the file was to small. thats a load of crap, its not hard to make a file size larger if that even is an issue. then he claims that he sent me the photos. not sure how he would do that since i have no email published on there and BAT doesnt allow emails in the comments section.

I wanted to reply on the "Dealer" comment, After 27 years of working on cars, and personally owning 15 plus or minus, I found through the shop I can buy and sell cars, not pay tax on them tell the next purchaser buys it, drive them on dealer plates, insure them thru shop, no emissions tests, full benefits and little work to keep license. I sold 19 cars last year, not many, made 10%, paid for my usage. Maybe being a dealer is smart. You guys need to ask yourselves were is this money coming from? How all the sudden is the world able to purchase 100 + cars at such a whim? The average guy has a 50-100 income and last I checked nothing is getting cheaper. Does everyone out there owe out there ass?

Just watched this morning Mr Biden I'd proposing another "package", only another 1.6 or 1.9 Trillion, WTF, were is he making money at. 6.2 Trillion in first 100 days, Only 1361 day left for him to give money away, lots of countries we have not given money to yet. Might have no fuel, food, medical care, but we will be fair to everyone.

From the discussion here I believe we can presume the current market for collector cars, in general has moved upstream. Whether temporary or new normal will take time + repeated examples trading at these new levels.
Would it be fair to say a no stories, mileage-under-2500, doc'd '00 R would probably START trading over $100k.....? If yes where does it end?

Looks like another one just sold on EBay. It wasn’t on long and had a BIN of $98K for a car with 4K miles and visible damage underneath. These cars have definitely shot up. Not surprised considering less than 300 to go around and people buying hard assets with their depreciating dollars.

Any chance you have a link to the sold listing? I can't seem to find it.
