This ultra-low-mileage 2005 Acura NSX left the factory with a color combination that made it one of just half a dozen in the world. Now it has a story as wild as the yellow-over-yellow paint and interior, thanks to a six-figure alleged typo and some behind-the-scenes actions that are giving Bring A Trailer exactly the wrong kind of attention. Making just about everyone involved in the process at least a little bit unhappy. Her Name Is Rio And She Dances On Your Keyboard Bring A Trailer The auction for this Rio Yellow over yellow leather and carpet 2005 Acura NSX went live on May 10. It was a single-owner car, with just 4,200 miles on the odometer in its 21 years, and it was clear from the very start that this car would fetch serious cash.Within hours of the auction opening, the bidding had already crossed $200,000. The remaining bidders waited closer to the end, and in a flurry of last-minute bids, the car reached $293,000. That's when things got weird.A new bid from user RR767 jumped the stakes from $293,000 to $394,000. Almost instantly, the top bidder commented, "Typo, $294,000." But the automated auction system doesn't work that way. The time was extended briefly because of the new bid, but then the auction ended at a price far higher than the high bidder intended.The comments went off. "Good ploy to stop the clock and have a private negotiation," said one user. Another accused the bidder of the same thing, saying they wanted a one-on-one negotiation instead of the heat of the auction clock running up the emotions and the bids.It was immediately obvious that this auction suddenly had a problem. With price tags this high, that meant it was not going to be a quick solution.Like many online auction sites, placing a bid for a car on BaT is not a single-step process. You need to enter and then confirm your bid, and the process is made precisely to prevent problems like this. Nevertheless, it happened. Allegedly.There were two days of silence before Bring A Trailer posted an official update. That gap was filled with armchair quarterbacks telling the site what to do, throwing around accusations, and, strangely, complaining about the installation of the decade-old tires. The Result Was A Price Somewhere In The Middle Bring A Trailer Finally, the official reply from Head of Auctions Howard Swig was posted. It took some of the heat and added a resolution."@turbotroy had advanced the bidding to $293k and @RR767 mistakenly bid $394k instead of his intended $294k bid," the post read. "It was an honest mistake that our team should have caught in regulation, but we missed it and the auction ended at the erroneous $394k sale price."BaT posted that the company worked with the seller and the top bidders, giving the seller the opportunity to re-open the auction or take the negotiations and sale offline. The result was not one we had expected.Turbotroy, the $293,000 bidder, ended up with the car. Not for $293,000, though, but for $310,000. Even that resolution had the commenters mad, though.That anger came from the fast and furious late-auction bidding. Within eight minutes, the bids climbed from $255,000 to $293,000, with a total of four bidders involved. The other two, Enzo2005 and ClaytorProperties, were not included in the "whoopsie" part of the transaction.In a situation like this, it's impossible to make everyone happy. BaT's immediate obligation is to the seller and the highest bidders. Especially when all three had multiple transactions through the site before.Bring a Trailer started with cars that needed a trailer because they were near-scrap, not because they were worth hundreds of thousands. Now it has 1,060 currently live auctions. With that expansion, there are going to be mistakes. It's how they're handled and addressed that matters, and that's a long-term lesson in trust.
