The only person selling the Mercedes 300 SLR had 15 of them, is this person cheating?

The Mercedes SLR 300 is for sale at the autoshow for $143 million. I think the only other way to get it is buying it through the auction house or possibly wheel spins. But I found it odd that there were 15 of them for sale (at 20 million Max) all from the same person.

I took a picture, so I have their gamertag if there’s any reason to report them.

Intuitively it’s a cheater. It could be an honest guy with a huge amount of patience. Impossible for us to know I think.

the seller is probably “market bullying”, this is where the seller buy’s out everyone else (buys the car for 1 million, 500k etc) in order to have the monopoly, now he is the only seller, he can dictate his own price, in this case 20mil…

Completely legit…

Think the min bid price for this car sits at 14M and the min buyout at 20 M. So it is very unlikely in this case.
Could be a cheater, but also could someone who has a lot of credits to spend. If you are a legendary painter and you want a livery to get a bit more attention you can put a car put with a min bit price and a 20M buyout price (only ingame method I see after the livery leaves recommended). Which likely leads to you earning credits over time. So to get rid of too many cr you can buy the car from the auto show and sell it at the auction, or gift it.

It’s a game tactic. At times, I purchase a dozen or more of a desirable car in the AH when it’s dirt cheap and sell them weeks or months later when AH value skyrockets.

Some of these explanations seem plausible. But why were they the single only seller of this car? typically there’s at least a few other people. it was just very odd that there were that many with only one seller.
