I personally doubt that there is 7 different buyers who are buying to resell, maybe 1, Are there collectors with deep pockets ? The correct answer is YES ! If you had deep pockets and could pick up some rare and unique pieces in a (nearly) once in a lifetime opportunity, you would too.

The thing about auctions is it weeds buyers out at certain price points, if I were buying to resell why would I expect to sell something next month for more when that same pool of buyers wasn't willing pay that much this month.

If there is some one buying to resell, I think they are going to wait a long time to attempt to break even.
