Not every one who has money lets that turn their nose up at common, less than super desirable, or beat up sets. It takes someone that sees the future to save interesting mid 50's-80's sets for those that soon will badly want them, and those that already appreciate them enough to buy and work on them.

I've saved some large lots of hard luck sets that others would not bother to look twice at, and made money doing it.

For some it is all about love of electronic history, repair, and preservation, not so much about having 1 of 5 soon to be 10 known to exist (because the high price draws unknown sets out of the woodwork). Though it is cool to have one of few or 1 of 1 type sets.
