How to read these numbers

We only see a lot while it is still listed — the auction stops publishing it once it sells, so none of these are sale prices. Anything above about price counts only lots we caught within a day of the hammer, and salvage bidding does most of its work in the final minutes. Treat them as the floor, not the going rate.

Mileage skips listings the auction filed as “not reported”, and the condition figure only counts lots that carry a condition code. Each stat says how many listings it rests on, so you can judge it yourself.
