I think the guy who bought may also be a collector. He sold an unused AP155 an flattener just a few years ago. How rare would that have been.
Perhaps he sees it as a form of investment. After all its pretty hard to make a return on the stock market these days and will be for some time to come.
Perhaps he can sell it in 5 years for $30,000 and that is 10% p.a. A bit like fine wine.
