Collectibles are worth exactly what the highest bidder wants to pay... Someone who isn't a TV collector would have trouble understanding why a person would pay $20,000 for a broken B&W TV, but that happens with prewar sets on eBay now & then. Same reason I might have paid $5000 on eBay for a rusty 1985 Toyota Diesel pickup with a crushed fender and a cracked piston, then spent another $5000 restoring it.

I paid $125 for a fair-condition Flashmatic gun, and seen several sell for the range of this most recent one.
