Here we go again. You know more about these clips than I, but I know enough about them to know they were sold out of the bounds of their market value. If I recall correctly, a few years back some major auction house sold many more clips from this set in a lot, and (I recall) it sold for LESS money. What makes this lot so bizarre is that it wasn't a bidding war between two (or more) bidders in pursuit of a single scarce item. These clips were but a small portion of a much larger set. In reading the opinions of net members on high selling prices, it seems the most commonly offered view is "shill bidding". I am open to other explanations because I don't want to believe it is true. But what might they be?
