In defense of colletors everywhere, what seems reasonable depends entirely on your bank balance. If you want a particular car and there aren't many of them, supply and demand set the price. You pay what you have to, to buy it, or you live without it. Simple.
I know these prices seem high but Porsche prices have historically been dirt cheap, compared to many other marques. Look at the Ferrari world for a minute. Cars from the '60's that were considered bottom feeders (cars that were worth $20,000 to $25,000 and ugly enough that nobody wanted them for a collection) are now $100,000 and up. The street Dino 246 (a direct competitor to the 911 when new) can easily sell north of $150,000.
I'm not saying any car is worth over $100,000 (I haven't kept any that crossed that mark) but there are enough rich people in the world that those prices are a reality. The guys that can afford them are, for the most part, not fools. They were smart enough to make a pile of money....
