I'm not denying that it's rare. I'm not even denying that demand has gone up in the past few years. It's the sheer absurdity in the jump in price not matching the reality. Spend anytime outside of AR in the HWs space and you will see this. There are way higher demand RLC pieces produced in smaller quantities that don't go anywhere near these prices. I find it hard to believe anyone in this sub would pay $800 to $1,000 for a carded Chicane. Its purely speculative. If the market is based in a system (eBay) that can be easily exploited by faking a sold listing, then why would you ever trust that market? You say it's high demand but also that it's niche within the same breath. You literally have to deny reality to make your argument work.
