Well, since they offered it in either 'by card' or 'full set' format and the full set triumphed by $30K, then the set was worth more intact (at this specific point in time) than the sum of the parts. Saves the auctionhouse a lot of time as well. Of course, many bidders may have stopped bidding if they thought bids on individual cards at the end was fruitless.

PWCC would never offer something like this because they would lose $50k on inflated shipping costs
