Impatience or freaking out?

A small point on the sums spent by the most impatient on eBay to acquire the choice of a bag 6005188 Darth Maul or a minifig of TC-14 in Chrome Silver ...

Still, I'm sometimes ready to spend a hefty sum on something that might become rather rare and difficult to find later on, but now I'm shocked to see that 28 people have spent $ 140 for a bag of Darth Maul which will most likely be again offered by LEGO and the price of which should in any case drop quickly on Bricklink, and that already 12 people have spent $ 120 for a minifig of TC-14 which we know will be offered by LEGO on May 4, 2012 for $ 75 of purchases in the LEGO Star Wars range ...

When I think of all that I can read on various forums regarding the LEGO pricing policy, the increasing prices, the exorbitant cost per piece, etc ... I find it hard to make the connection with this type of irrational eBay spending ...

Especially since in these two cases, these are products which will be available in probably sufficient quantity thereafter and which in any case will still be distributed to the general public ...
