A no-sale is not a failure and we publish it as an outcome, not as an omission. The car reached $18,400 against a reserve it did not clear.
The consignor can re-enter it, lower the reserve, or take it home. All three are normal.
The bid figures shown are illustrative sample data.
Specification
As catalogued
Every VIN here begins QOQ and contains the letters O and Q, which never appear in a real vehicle identification number. They are deliberately impossible and identify nothing.
