In actual fact to those who collect and can afford such pieces the question is not price but authenticity. If I could afford such a piece and it was authentic, price would not factor into the purchase.
Out of the 100 plus Glories and Glory groups I have aquired over the years price has never really been an issue. If its authentic or has proof of authenticity via paperwork it becomes even more attractive to add to ones collection.
I must say though the days of me buying every authentic Glory I could lay my hands on are long gone due to the price increases. people get all excited about price increases but really the demand reflects the price increase. The harder the pieces are to find the higher the prices. In reality you will never out bid someone who 'really' wants that piece even if it is over priced.
Just some thoughts
