Is the auction house broke? I just trying to buy out a car it said I didn’t have enough credits it was for 1.9mil I had 8.2 mil when I exited out of it I had less than 6 mill left. I tried on a couple other cars the same thing. I’m down to 800,000 now. I don’t know what happened

There’s a hacker in auction on Xbox One, his name is Dracos 8 MVP, he’s changing cars’ buy out prices to 20,000,000 CR and I just lost 359,000 CR to him. Not sure how to report other than Xbox Report but they won’t do anything. I have a picture.

Yes, it is broken. And this bug is already listed on the known issues list for about two month I think. So using the auction house is on your own risk actually. May be PGG could insert a warning message for that in their next patch if they cannot fix this in time…

I’m sure you’ve already got this sorted by now, but just in case you don’t, you can get your credits back by doing a hard reset if you’re playing on console. Same thing happened to me for more than 2 weeks. Resetting the game should give your credits back, but it still doesn’t fix the fact that you can’t buy anything at the AH until they fix the problem.

Hi
had a similar experience with a seller in auction. Bought for 6 mil CR a BMW M5 '12 with a buy out of 20 mil CR. 10 minutes later I tried to put it on auction but the buy out was only about couple of hundred thousand. Is this normal or a hacked auction? I have the nasme of the seller and a screenshot of the overpriced auction.

Hi, this is probably legit. FYI, if you reach Legendary status as a tuner or painter you can list any car in the AH for 20 million.

A buyout of 20M is normal if you have a legendary status. The bug mentioned here is paying for a car on the auction house and not getting it.

I bought a Flying Lizard Porsche 911 '18 GT2 RS with no issues.

many thanks for the clarification. I understand the tuner/painter’s status increases a car’s value to 20M, but shouldn’t this price be carried over to the next buyer, instead of getting dropped to almost bare minimum? what is the logic behind penalizing the buyer?

It isn’t penalizing the buyer. It’s rewarding the creator. Why should you get 20 million? You haven’t done anything to the car as you neither painted nor tuned it yourself.
