Normally, I would wholeheartedly agree with this logic. In this case, and for other Steiner exclusives, Steiner is the exception to the rule as they are the only one who can get people to pay this price. Anyone who buys a Steiner Jeter auto for $1K will be only able to recoup a fraction of it if/when they try to resell it. Perhaps this year, with all the hype going on, they might get close to breaking even, but not so next year. I think most Steiner items, not just Jeter, follow along the same lines.
