I'm sure there's more than a few people on here who subscribe to the "Come on buddy,I'm a fellow Ford enthusiast/forum member so therefore you shouldn't be making money from me" school of thought and milk that for all they can get out it.
Obviously that only applies when you are a buyer.

if I was a potential buyer, then I should have been at the auction. if someone has beaten another to the sale by putting the money down, then the potential buyer only have themselves to blame

every car was for sale at some point - anyone who wants it bad enough should have bought it when for sale/cheaper

I have parts from my coupe that will never be for sale - what I would want to sell makes them too expensive for me to let go with a clear conscience. does that make me a bad person because I bought a complete coupe 24 years ago when less wanted them? I don't think so. I did the leg work then, when others thought it too hard - now guys my age want a good and complete coupe . . . well they could have had one (but could not have been bothered). the same principal applies to all cars that are now in demand
