You were right.

He did not sell for 1000 Euros.

It is a good example on how those things lose in value. People wont believe it but they do because they are not rare. Find a vinyl missprint of Kill Em All, that will increase its value over the years. But fancans? There are thousands of them out there. Sad but true.
We're not in this alone.

I'm not so agree about that, because usually a single fan can goes on ebay for 150-200 Euro if in good condition (especially the first cans).
The more time goes on, and the more these items go in "good" hands of die-hard fans or collectors, and finding them in good conditons (or complete) will be always more difficult, that will increase the price.

About this bidding, well, the thing that stop people to buy them all together is the high price, but not because there wasn't people interested in them.
Sometimes people is looking for a single can, and not all of them.

You never know :)
