Some at different auctions like the Kremer and other examples of special Porsches, as in this case, just need a different exposure to a wider and deeper pocketed audience. Also buying in person vs from photos can make the difference especially with a unusual offering, like true concours, special equipment/ builder like Kremer, etc. I remember Mecum sold a under 8K mile Kremer that had undisputable documentation for $400K. albeit 2 years ago. The 88 very nice red 930 about to close on BAT has a long way to go from the around $160K now, or another RNM great Porsche.

This does not surprise at all. People with taste and dignity like to buy special cars at special venues - not by just looking at several 2-dimensional photographs on an internet site and being distracted by nobodys who know nothing about what's offered (ie. in person with sight, touch, and smell).
Place of purchase on high-end and special cars absolutely plays into this. That's why it continues to baffle me that people put so much trust and money into a four-paragraph write-up and glossy photographs. Oh well...
