In my statement that set him off, I said good condition. Some people cannot grasp the role condition has on price. Like the guy that has a rusted out X car and thinks it will fetch the price of a fully restored X car or a original in mint condition.

Oh for sure. Good condition will certainly drive the price up, and people are willing to pay.

How about this nice red 97 850 NA manual. Original owner and 175,000 miles. All servicing up to date they claim!

or an 06 XC70 Ocean Race that needs some work. 175,000 miles also. Ocean race or not, over priced based on mileage and work required.

This 06 XC 90 Ocean Race has been on for a while. Price is all over the place. Went up to $7k CDN at one point.

I was eyeballing this XC90 as a project but it’s already up to 2k at my door. Reserve not met

Real price about 1/2 that. That’s way too much for part out, and too much to resell, but is all local guys bidding it up

Is this shill bidding?

Whiskey tango foxtrot?

The Temple Hills bids may be in-house; a couple of the principles at the auction house operate a used car lot in DC adjacent to their main building.
The other bids look to be genuine. If the house really wants it, they normally snipe at the end.
As I mentioned before, some of the charities have become very hands-on for their donations, and come up with their own ideas about value, and like many things these days, not always anchored in reality.
