Obviously they do not need to sell, if your observations are correct. Are you annoyed you cannot afford to pay their inflated asking prices or upset they have the resources by which they have the ability to do this?
Sounds like you missed some great opportunities bidding on those 14 items when offered by the distinguished auction houses. Gotta step up or step aside. Lots of guys out there with real money to toss into our hobby.
