I don't think it is difficult to explain.  It all comes down to
timing, basically.  If the time when you auction it coincides to a
time when more than one person with deep pocket wants it, you get
more money.  If you auction it at the wrong time, you still get a
decent enough price, but not an outrageous one.

I've never seen a full 4558 go for $150, though.  I'd buy 10 of them
at that price.

I've seen 6086 go for anywhere from $90 to $300+.  Timing.
