What happens when these prices rise too fast too quickly? The cars become collector's items and don't get driven. I can understand the desire to get your market price, but if you have several buyers, wouldn't you want the car to go to an enthusiast?
Also this guy isn't selling on consignment, he'd take down the CL ad first if he was that sophisticated.
Sure there is a knowledge gap between some sellers and market prices, but it appears we're at this point now where it's happened so much that we're seeing run of the mill stock, high mileage SCs and 2.7 cars listed at these dealers for north of 35 or 40. We all know that unless there's been some serious work done to those cars or they are unique for one reason or another, there's no way a stock SC or 2.7 should be selling for that much.

Your kind of thinking the tail wags the dog here. Buyers decided what is done with their cars and not sellers.
Let's say a seller screens his buyers takes a $5k hit to sell to a young "enthusiast" just getting into the Porsche world, seller feels good about himself until a year and a half later when "enthusiast" sells car because he needs the money and could not turn down such a high offer from the "collector" enthusiasts excuse to seller is he was just married and had to pay bills. Now original seller feels like a schmuck for believing that nonsense about a "forever car"
I do not believe anything any more from buyers, just money, lesson learned.
Nobody can predict the future.
Buyers decided what happens to cars not sellers.
