I would GUESS that it is either shill bidding or someone trying to drive the market value up on purpose.

Seems like when an item or two of one type sells for a stupid price, then everyone else starts demanding that their stuff sells for the same price. Soon the noobies and uninformed think that the inflated price is the "normal" price and are willing to pay it.

Remember when Inland rack grades were under $500 at CMPicon. Yea, I know CMP prices are gone, but now EVERYONE wants their Inland rackers to be valued at $1,000 just because a couple of uninformed noobies were deperate enough to actually PAY that price. I believe in supply and demand setting market prices, but why do we let market prices be set by the greedy and stupid????

Just my two cents...
