I agree with you that those prices don't make sense on fun/$ ratio, but I fear they're not going back down to pre-madness levels... Ever... Maybe from stratosphere to troposphere (yes I looked it up)
Agreed, Magnus buying them up like hotcakes, in Europe we have State of Art a clothing brand that did the same.
They use em for advertisement in all sorts of businesses, simply get an 'iconic car, drive your name around in style.. '

The earlies will never drop in price, nor will the other good air cooled 911's.
To many people are invested in making money off them now, and they buy em up to make a buck. They hype them, and chop them up for parts.
Every one that is chopped up, means 3 things :
1 less on the market : higher price for the ones that remain
2 a set of papers on the loose for use by thieves.
