[QUOTE="maxf, post: 497023, member: 6420"] Are they actually selling though? The hakes one went for 86k and they are famed for crazy pricing. I can’t help but think these sellers are chancing their arm. It doesn’t help when well known owners are blatantly backing up the prices, although whether they’d pay that much who knows. Perhaps I’m just a bit bitter at what our hobby has become. Also, don’t believe everything you see about being rich. Of course there are very rich collectors, but we’ve also seen all kinds of amazing collections purchased through dodgy dealing or even downright illegal practices. Furthermore it’s completely legit to withdraw funds from your pension in the US as a loan to invest with... I’d wager that’s where a lot of these big purchases come from. Whether that’s a shrewd long term move or just short term fun remains to be seen. [/QUOTE]
