Steve:
While you have the right to have your opinion I can respectfully disagree.
"If" this mask was a piece of art and was on auction @ Christies Fine Art it could go for a price more than "what it was worth" and it would simply be a news item in tomorrow's fish wrapper.
I just can't buy into your philosophy that people should not profit (no matter how greatly).
I am certainly not a "wannabe economist" (nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night) but I would expect that if I auctioned off my Carlucci Original Chest Protector and Leg Guards I would certainly get more than I paid for them and possibly more than their "worth." ("Worth" is an interesting issue in itself -- how can you establish "worth" for someone else's need or desire.)
Although I greatly respect both you and Kevin I just can't agree with you on this specific issue.
