Auction Price Disparities

I am sort of lost trying to figure how some of the pricing of cars being auctioned is baselined.

I won the FD (1997) Mazda RX-7 in the midnight race in the outback and decided to tune the car a smidge and auction it off.

After I finished upgrading and tuning it, I went in to check what the FDs were going for in the auctions and nearly fell over. It seemed as though the prices were in seven digits and there were bids at those prices. Feeling pretty good, I started an auction for the my FD and saw that the start was like 3,000 credits and top buy-out was like 150,000 credits. That’s a pretty massive disparity for the car and even adding all-wheel-drive and the four rotor out of the Mazda 787B LeMans winner, there was no difference. Why is this happening? Why can’t I even ask for a couple of million fr the car?

You need to be a Legend Painter or Legend Tuner with one of your designs/tunes respectively on an auctioned car to be able to sell for prices that high.

Ah, okay. Makes sense even though I’ll never make it into those exhaled ranks. Thanks iT N1GHTMAR3.
