Maybe the cash wasn't particularly hard earned?
I admit I've paid too much for some items that I really wanted - my justification is I use money from other stuff that I've scored for super cheap at yard sales/flea markets/junk stores etc., and then been able to sell for decent profits
I have a pretty fair knowledge of vintage costume jewelry, Hot Wheels, comic books, toys and of course Shelby/Cougar/Ford Performance/Racing items.
Every once-in-a-while I'll stumble across something.
Not saying that's what's going on here, but thought I'd give another perspective.
