Interesting points... You are right that most people will never pay such a high price in cash. Take the japanese Fury of the Iron Crown for example. Dirk Docter had one copy for sale (around 80,00 Euro) but nobody bought the card.

If you want to get a card like Huida which is valued aroud 40,00 Euro you are maybe not willing to pay the 40,00 Euro in cash. But maybe you have some other expensive promo cards which you got in trade for a lower price and suddenly you will pay the 40,00 Euro (in cards). Just to give an example: During the Lure of MECCG III I made the 8th place of a tournament (not very successful) and got a booster as the little price. Inside of that (finnish) booster was a finnish Assassin which I traded for an italian One Ring. That One Ring went to Spain for a Genets de Llops.

I have to tell you that I spend much money for these spanish beginners cards. I bought Discusiones Oscuras, Huida and Tumulario for 120,00 Euro in example. One month ago I sold a complete set of all five specials for 250,00 Euro and some other cards. That is the way it goes. I spend the money and I will get it back.
What I want to say is that there are really traders who pay that price although you believe there are none of them...

I completed my sets of the expensive promos, so I have retired from that business. But if I will ever get an offer of the japanese Fury I will spend that incredible price to get the last card i need, no doubts.
