The worth of this bayonet is in the eyes of the buyer. While most collectors would tend to agree that $799 for an S 84/98 is high, the buyer obviously saw something there that he really wanted or needed.

I have paid ridiculously high prices for some items in my collection when a rare or unheard of variation came on the market.

That being said, in auctions, sometimes one can get carried away and need to bid ever higher just to keep the other bidder from getting it.
