Posted last week about this guy’s bid history (Lomly - actually a dealer):

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

He bid the Type R up to $80.5k, but another dealer took it for $82k.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The other vehicles currently for sale at Mouse Motors (the winner bidder)?

Hmmm, dealers bidding up prices on BaT, definitely seems li ke everything is on the up and up...

What did that old VFR go for? Almost bought one on CL a month ag o for $1,200. Needed a carb cleaning, but was otherwise pretty clean.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! The guy has it listed for $52,000!

Hey, anyone want to buy a very clean ‘71 CB175 cafe bike from Desert Rat Motors? Let’s call it a cool $20k.

I’m convinced BaT is just a hustle to drive up classic vehicle prices. As the owner of several classic vehicles, bid away, rich people!

The ‘old VFR’ is an RC30.

Depending on condition, it probably went for $50,000 or a lot more.

This one went for $92,000 last year.

They’ve sold a grand total of 3 vehicles (including McLaren F1 #001).

Spending crazy money on collector cars just before a global recession doesn’t seem like a great move, though.

Yup.  Time to buy is in the depths of recession when people have to sell their toys.

Missed that bit. Yeah, that’s a pricey bike.

I’m not trying to benefit from anyone’s misfortune, but sellers will have to adjust to the market when no one’s buying.

And no one has ever ridden it. Fucking shame.

Sadly, I doubt anyone will ever ride that one. It will sell again in 2028 with 18 miles (someone will push it an additional four miles from garage to museum and back a few times )

So a dealer bought that Integra for 80k? How are they possible hoping to sell it for more than that. Unless it was shipped to them full  of cocaine.

No friggin’ clue.

Wondering if this “dealer” is actually just some rich kid playing businessman with his dad’s money.

So dumb. A former client of mine has a pristine ‘93 CBR1000RR in the proper HRC red white and blue paint scheme that he bought new. Kept the thing immaculate, but actually rode it. Had like 50 or 60k on it.

I have a conspiracy theory that some of these sales are to other dealers to inflate numbers.
