My Take: 
I like tracking the occasional live/online auction - in this case in the US. The prices seem to be about right based on the quality of the three items in these two lots. I'd say someone got some great examples for their collection.

Note:
The winning bid price doesn't reflect the common buyer's premium which most live auctions force the winning bidder to pay - it's often as much as 25% of the total winning bid. The buyer's premium for this auction is 25% shown as an adjustment above less sales tax.
