Holy Smokes! eBay Member Pays $4725 for USED #10179 Millennium Falcon!

Amazing how much money people have! Seriously, this goes to show the amazing appreciation and love for the world of LEGO Star Wars. Either the person here has too much money to blow, has no idea what they are looking for on eBay or is just plain crazy. Looking at the numbers the Brickpicker database, we know that the current going rate for a Used #10179 UCS Millennium Falcons is $1125.39 USD, which is way below what this fellow paid. Next month when we run our numbers, I will be very interested to see how much this one listing raises the overall value for the used market for this set.
