Most people are prepared to spend big bucks because they think they will eventually be able to sell it and get most, if not more, money back. In this case you are actually renting the comic (for life) i.e. the money spent is never recovered. So, would you really be prepared to spend $100K under those terms?

Imagine there is an auction for a key comic, let's say one that is quite rare/high grade and would typically sell for $100K. You are a wealthy individual who could afford the full $100K. However there is a condition of the sale... you can never sell the comic. Once you buy it, you can never sell or trade it. You can give it away buy whoever then owns it also has the same condition i.e. they can never sell/trade it. If you keep it to you die then it could be passed on to someone but the same conditions apply. So the question is... under those conditions, how much would you be prepared to pay for this comic? Answer can be in actual $ or as a percentage (so the actual amount is irrelevant). Essentially you are giving a figure to 'rent' the comic.
