Possible reasons for high bidding:
1. “Test” paint– the production ones might look just like this or they might not. For a good example take the Emerald Peacock OW dragons that went on eBay vs. the ones that were put into regular production. They were different enough that I’d be willing (if I had the money) to pay more for one of those.
2. “Special”– it comes signed and with a drawing on the COA. This is worth a lot to some, I imagine.
3. Impatience– I want it now! Some folks might be inclined to bid now to get one with certainty, rather than wait (the track record has had pieces take over 2 years to make into production item in the past…).
4. It’s eBay– people just get crazier there in general.
