"Early Adopter" (c/o Wiki)

I'm guessing that this kind of super-duper-collector belongs in the same class as the mega-nerd who pitches a tent outside the computer store and camps out for days to be first in line for the latest I-Gadget. The price may seem absurd to you and me, but value is like beauty, very much in the eye of the beholder. The price paid is a direct measure of that collector's passion. From his/her perspective, Being First is worth the money. To the extent that s/he indulges his/her passion, more power to him/her. Let's just hope that the bidder hasn't made unreasonable sacrifices in other parts of life.
