Because someone is trying to sell it for more than they bought it for. It seems to happen a lot at this particular auction house. Someone buys a car at a small auction house and gets a good deal. It shows up again at a bigger auction house with more exposure and will sell for more. I think it sold for 46x,xxx JPY, so I expect the seller will now have a reserve around 600,000 JPY.
HAA Kobe is a big auction house, so it seems that they don't go as detailed on the auction sheets as other places (eg. items that should be noted are not). Of course when I bought cars from there in the past I was using a different exporter. Brave Auto is much more detailed than my old exporter.
