It was absolutely insane . . . I wonder if the folks bidding on these items are in fact, investors, not from the hobby community . . . kind of like how certain real estate investment firms bought up some homes in certain markets. Would make sense, as Hunt is an international auction house, and "investors" are much morel likely to go there to buy a ton of high quality items quickly, in one day, as opposed to searching through Ebay. Perhaps non-collectors drove these prices up?
