I just can't imagine them selling for anywhere near what is being reported in an actual auction setting.
Agreed. 7 more show up and the price skyrockets? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Not saying it didn't happen, but wouldn't surprise me one bit if there is market manipulation taking place. Nobody in this hobby seems to learn a lesson.
