"These are for specific people who want something from a particular collector that has celebrity status (at least to them)."
You should probably have quit there and moved on. I am not putting down either Chris or Eric, both of whose videos I enjoy. If an item came out of Mike Wolf or JLC or Frank Sinatra's personal collection I wouldn't pay extra for it. If it came from Rod Stewart's personal collection I'd pass because my wife would never let me put it on the layout. I buy trains to run them. For me what matters is how well the item runs and how it looks. The item's pedigree does not affect these. In that respect Trainz reputation and liberal return policy means more to me than who owned the item before I did.
I wish you and Chris the best in your marketing endeavor. As you say this is for "specific people". And I am just not one of them.
