For some reason maybe we can blame Singer for people believing that backdates should all be profitable. I could care less how much went into the build. This deviates too far from the norm and isn't going to be everyones taste. Clearly this is a narrow market with what appears to be more dislikes than likes here. I am around builds like this all the time and some bring huge money and others not so much, irrespective of the quality of the craftsmanship.
And there’s enough people building them that when the builder acts like a petulant pouty child, potential buyers will take their $100k elsewhere. As we do often say around here you buy the seller. This seller hung up his own noise and jumped from the chair.
