It is solely because the seller listed the item on the right moment and right place. And there 2 bidders really wanted it. That is it! Nothing to do with the current market price.
I bet, if you guys here now put the same title on Ebay, you would not get that high.
Some bidders just involved themselves in a bid wars without really desire to get the item.
I have the very experience when I listed a shark's movie theme (3 x 400') "Blue Water, White Death. Follow this story (scroll down for my post in the middle). I was so surprised it was sold for $350 ...after a bid wars.
I sent the movie, and knowing the final price was so high of my expectation I was so encouraged to find another copy. One member had one, and using the Ebay's second chance, I contacted the second highest bidder to offer the very same title. Normally, Ebay will give the price a $0.50 - $1 cheaper from the final price
The result....NO ANSWER! He is not (longer) interested.
The lesson is that the second bidder was only involved in the bid wars, and finally realized he actually did not need that.
So, don't get surprised with this Casablanca's price. The seller was just lucky like me.
cheers,
