"Irrational exuberance"?

Every auction is it's own individual market. Completely depends on who is in the audience and what they really want. The audience depends upon the marketing of the auctioneer.

Just recently at smaller regional auctions a friend was able to buy genuinely rare and high condition Lugers for about 1/3 what they sell for between collectors. He invests quite a bit of time on this and knows the marketplace well, so he has a good idea when something needs to be bid on.
