People would lose a ton of money selling back and forth on BaT to raise prices, and to what end? Listing a car on BaT costs $99, plus $250 for pictures, plus the buyer pays 5% fees to the service for it to go on the records. So BaT took in $4850 on that $90,000 e46 M3. If they did it 4 times, BaT look in $10,000+... so that a couple of individuals could raise e46 M3 values? Assuming they even did and it would persist after auctions that were artificially being inflate? And it just, by chance, happened to coincide with e39 M5 values going up?
... or are e39s another conspiracy by the same group? If so, imagine the auction fees they paid on the $186,000 example recently!
(though admittedly the $186,000 e39 M5 auction wasn't on BaT)
