How come this coin sold for so much?

I collect those Victorinus. I'm targeting to complete the whole collection one day. But here's the problem since the covid pandemic : before 2020, I was fighting only with other collectors around the world. Never with dealers. Why? Let's say a certain coin has a retail value of 100$. Let's suppose this coin is offered in an auction. Maybe I'm willing to battle up to 150$. Maybe another guy wants it more than me in his collection, so I can lose it; but the dealers weren't there because they have to make a profit on the coin when they resale it. So they will give up at 60 or maybe 75$, right? That was the situation in another world. That time is over, finito, c'est terminé ! Example: this coin was offered in auction lately.

Very nice, not so common but worthing around 200$. Maybe 300$ on a crazy crazy day. That's where I stopped. Now guess what was the hammer price? 450€ ! Ok, ok, surely another wealthy collector need it more than I do, right ? That is what I thought. Until I see it for sale 2 days later on Vcoins for 720€....it's 1078.20 CAD...for a nice Victorinus... So now the war is against the dealers too...Anyway thanks for reading my post, I feel better now, the pressure is going lower...

I was following this auction and watching this lot as well. Gave up very quickly. Funny enough, it was already listed on vcoins while the rest of the auction was still going, not even an hour after the hammer.... Lol.
