I can only assume that this guy (or girl) doesn't know how the seller came to have the sticks in the first place if they're willing to pay that much...I have limits on how much I'll pay for certain things but I couldn't let myself pay over £100 for something that I know probably got to the seller for free  |
I can't really say I believe the price the current owner paid (or didn't as the case may be
) is highly relevant.
The sticks have (rightly or wrongly) a monetary value, and there will always be people willing to pay cash for sought after items.
Napoleon made gifts of locks of his own hair to favorites.
These were given free of charge, but try to find a lock these days that won't set you back a few grand
It's an auction, so the buyer is setting the price, although if the seller had set that price as a reserve or starting price, i'd dismiss him as a cheeky ~~~~~~.
