It's still sitting in his shop. RP is not going to sell it.

I think it's more that like most modded / custom car owners, he thinks that it's reasonable to set an asking price according to the following formula:

(Cost of car) + (Cost of Mods) + (My time x some magical hourly rate) = reasonable asking price

The more sane of them add in a multiplier, like say .5 to .8. Or leave out their time.

Reality is:

What 1 person among the people who hear about the sale will pay = reasonable asking price

Yeah things like that are always the same.

It’s the sellers dream, rarely anyone else has the exact same dream.

If they have a similar dream all they see is the differences and what they’d do differently.
