I watched both the Owen and Niedner, bid on both until they got to the point that to continue seemed to be a bit too much. I agree that overall the prices seemed high. But, I guess someone thought they were worth it. There's always the philosophy of "you didn't pay too much, you just bought it early". I'm just such a tightwad that I usually wind up buying them "late" or not at all. I thought there were a couple of decent buys on some of the later customs for my .02
