Subject: [CR]Record high price for European ebay?

I thought that my snipe bid of 800 euros might go somewhere with this Eddy Merckx bike, but as you can see, it didn't even register. I know this bike was interesting, but can somebody explain the final price of over $2800 for a 1983 Merckx bike? It has a 50th anniversary front derailleur and pedals, Campagnolo freewheel, and either highly polished or as per the description chromed parts.
