These are just two examples of why. There are many more. It's complicated and takes forever to figure out. And even then there are still wild variances that make no sense.

Matt, I 90% agree with this, but where the explanation comes in on the wild variances is bidders' egos. You'll sometimes see a series of last minute bids between two deep pocket dreamers who -- as
Vaive says -- trust everything in the write up and images.
There was an infamous Amelia auction car 16 months ago: 73 T Targa bid to $313,500 (!) That took two nutcases. And made one super happy seller!
