A car that is at the 1% upper edge of the bell curve for miles & condition inherently has a lot of variability in the selling price as not enough examples exist in that level of condition to make a meaningful number of sales to form a "market" price. On a given day a motivated collector will pay a very high price on another day not so much. I would think time or even an auction sale with a high reserve works to the sellers advantage as it allows for more exposure to the market to find that motivated buyer that will accept the highest selling price.
