The listing shows Progressive as the Seller.
I see your bicycle, and present one knee scooter.
I wonder if it was stolen and paid out under homeowners or renters insurance and then it was recovered.

Does Progressive offer homeowners/ renters insurance?

It could’ve been involved in a collision with a car and they paid for it and had to do something with it, so off to IAA it goes. I worked in insurance and we paid for bikes that our insureds hit, whether they were being ridden or mounted on a bike rack.
I dunno. If frame is cracked then near worthless. Very wary. If frame perfect? Maybe worth a bid. Wouldn't bid without detailed inspection. Seems like - let's see what it goes for.
- Actual Cash Value: $6,299 USD
If it is actually an X01 it starts at 7499.00 but isn't available.
Probably a liability claim.

If a carbon fiber frame was involved in a collision of any kind-it's toast-it's possible you can't see the cracks in photos. (that are now unavailable). My Son had a small crack in his-repair was VERY EXPENISE. Almost like an autobody shop.
This may be true but it depends on the severity of the collision. Just because you fall over or crash doesn't necessarily mean the frame is toast - if this were so, then thousands of carbon frame mountain bikes would be "toast" every time the rider takes a spill. Of course these frames are just fine. On the other hand, after a severe collision with a car then any frame should be discarded - not just carbon.
The issue being is that the frame could very well be damaged and you couldn't visually tell-unless you put it under some sort of device. It's like having a scratch in a windshield-and only being able to see it with the light shinning a certain way-only we are talking about carbon fiber cracks. I and said collision-not a fall.
My dictionary says: Collision: (1) a crash; (2) A condition of opposition or conflict between two or more people or things
Thus, "collision" is a general term covering anything from a simple fall to running full speed into a solid object like a car or stone wall. Yet you said a collision "of any kind" means the frame is toast. This is incorrect. It's important to clarify that while a serious collision can damage the frame and the damage may not be evident to visual inspection, just because a carbon frame falls down or has a minor crash does not mean it's toast.
BTW this is not unique to carbon either. Metal frames can develop stress and fatigue cracks that are not always evident to visual inspection.
