The actual buyer thinks the price is reasonable enough that he pulls the trigger. This doesn't unduly influence me, much less make me consider another interest! I have been shooting, buying, tinkering with, and generally immersed in, S&W revolvers all of my life. During that period I have been out-spent over and over and over again by others with more money and/or more desire. I would never expect it to be otherwise. Don't see the current situation as anything really new - just accelerated by the electronic media, which we all enjoy. That same media has generally accelerated virtually everything it comes in contact with - both in good and not-so-good ways.
