More like the definition of "I have more money to burn than any of you and this model will be part of my collection now."

Ridiculous overvaluation of a kit that is not that rare.

What if someone who is very wealthy, like Jeff Bezos, collected model rocketry memorabilia? People like that don't think about value and cost the way most of us do. If it were me, I would probably hire a person to manage the acquisition of items for my collections - cars, firearms, fine art, model rockets, etc. What's $500 to a person like that if it meant that a pristine, NIB, piece was added to the collection?

I've always like the Estes Pershing but would never pay a high auction price.
Congrats to the collector. I figure I saved $450 dollars by buying the slightly shorter TLP version. http://modelrocketbuilding.blogspot.../TLP%20Pershing
