I believe what you are seeing is not that people care what this one person did but, as it relates to the subject of this forum. One sale is fairly meaningless, an outlier. Not many wrapper cars in this group.

If the rumor is true, this would be the 2nd highest price for a 2020 HEPR. It would not be an outlier.
The new owner is probably reading these posts and laughing his arse off in Dubai.

How many cars do what they do in this current climate? This isn’t the only spastic value fluctuations… it’s happening across the board.
There’s a RAV4 with a $40k ADM on a separate thread. Right now, the market is causing a lot of crazy to come out. This sale, though, I can’t say it’s an outlier when 2020 R’s are doing all kinds of stuff, and a 2015 R went for what it did.

Has anyone seen the comments posted on that BaT thread? Many of the same people who are on here.........
Interesting comments from people with no interest in buying the car. Im going to have a closer look and revisit this after I go over it all.
May I ask was any of those people in contact with the potential buyers during the auction?
Very very interesting.

I looked at this car - 7k-Mile 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $209,000 on September 28, 2021 (Lot #56,159) | Bring a Trailer - a benchmark sale not long ago for a 997 GT3. Much of the comments and sentiment feel really familiar there. Some people exclaming how all the prices are now up (due this one sale) and others snarkily stating - Congrats....to the SELLER! ;).
Everything is definitely up still...and I agree with Tom that there's a bubble to burst - BUT some of the values of these unique cars will also be somewhat bolstered by the coincidental timing of electrification (coincidental to pandemic). I do think that they will get pulled down with the rest of the market, though..just a smaller percentage than the average SUV.
This - Is like bench racing. You can say what you think will happen but who really knows for sure?

As you know in some cases consignors do not always provide correct information based on the vehicle that they are selling/consigning therefore it is great that some of these details get corrected by some very well informed members from our forum.
With respect to posting comments on any BaT thread, I did not know that it was a prerequisite whereby only potential/interested buyers could either ask questions or make informed comments?

Numerous months ago I was contacted a number of times by a small live auction house asking me to consign my 2018 Base R after which time I finally relented with that live auction taking place this past weekend.
As another example of where the present market is for our R models my car bid up to $95,000 and when including the buyers fee JR157 would have sold for just over $100,000 had I lifted my reserve.
This is the market that we have been in for some time and are still presently in and for some to suggest that us consignors and/or purchasers are idiots and stupid based on present day pricing certainly is disappointing to say the least.

Sweet to see your 18 Base R get that kind of respect. The market may fluctuate but we’re in virgin territory with the current state of America.
Supply chain issues, performance cars are being targeted by the current admin, anxious and aggressive buyers, cars that likely won’t ever be made again (GT350 FPC w/manual), electric cars on the horizon… it’s a nuts world right now. There’s tons of factors involved and saying it’s simply a bubble is terribly shallow judging this market.
The forecast is bleak for HP manual cars…

I agreed with you right up to this point. It is a bubble and it is propagated by the supply chain issues which is where we are at today.
As stated, we will see.

Well, I won’t be hard to find… I was using my same handle on BaT. I did make one offer to the seller…. to post a driving video (probably the most common request on every gt350 auction on that platform and with 6 miles on the car….. )
Anyway, I saw many other familiar handles over there and thought it was great fun to watch the action. Go HEP R Go! More fun than watching my Chicago Bears…… they are aweful.

I saw that one too. Tech pack car. I would imagine if I were able to ever afford a 15 it would be a tech pack car….. let’s see where this one lands!
Care to have a guess? It’s already at $60k with a week to go. Heading north of a 100?
