When is it an appraisal and when a guess?
In Response To: Seller Says, "It Won't Be Sold Cheap" ()

Not the first time we've seen an unrealistic insurance assessment leading to an unrealistic price expectation from a seller on an 18k first gen Carrera.

At that amount, I can't imagine there's any hard research behind the estimate so really, is it any better than a guess?

I'd expect the end price to be in 4 figures too, and unlikely to start 8 or 9. Probably not even 7. So I have to agree with you Jeff, I don't see this making the start bid unfortunately.
