My Dad's old tools are made much better than the new ones. Even with the grease and grime.

hokiefan_82, that phenomenon has a name: "auction fever". I've seen it too many times in real life.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

could also be a shill running up the buyer.


That was my thought too. I've seen it on occasion with coins I've been interested in purchasing. Once it goes above my predetermined max, I ALWAYS drop out.

Hard to comment when there is the "availability" of other coins, but I see this so often on other auctions, that nothing surprised me anymore. Example: watched people paying $30 for a common bullion coin, add the buyers premium and the winners were paying substantially more than one could buy a similar coin on many retail sites !
