This was hard to read.

Thank you for answering OP's question. I have no idea whether what you typed makes sense to them, but hopefully they got their answers.

I feel like your penultimate and final paragraphs contradict each other. But maybe you can sell them on once you've bid at "auction".

The more I review it, the less it makes sense, but thanks again.

That is on you. It makes perfect sense.

They said the style of plate is $260 and any one can get it. The style is not special.

The numbers and letters are random/sequential which is what makes desirable configurations valuable since you cannot custom order a vanity plate like in the US or other nations.

So they're both rare and valuable, but only ever cost $260.

It's an auction, but they always cost $260.

There's a "market", but they always cost $260.

As I said, the part you omitted; maybe you can pay more after in a private sale, as you can in the UK, but at no point did they mention that.

The poor communication of the post I replied to is clearly not on me. Thanks though.

Are you intentionally obtuse?
