Expensive swivel?

That is a lot for that swivel. then again, with the state of speed bag swivels now a days, I am not surprised, as the price someone is willing to pay for something is often representative of the value of that item to him/her (the buyer). If you really want something rare, you may often be willing to pay any price to get it.Speed Bag

Wonder what vintage that one is? People have said that the last of the breed were not very well made, the metal too soft.
You can find older Everlast ball hooks with bags or platforms attached on eBay or Craigslist sometimes. Tell the seller you'll pay his price for the platform and swivel, but just take the swivel if shipping is involved. If the photos in the auction are any good, you might be able to find a good swivel for not too much cash this way.

Not to change the subject, but I checked out this eBay seller's other items and he is also auctioning an Everlast 4200. The bid is only up to $18 right now, if anyone is interested:
But, you better act quickly, I think the bidding closes in the next few hours...

_WHAT_ Am I Missing?
$80 for an Everlast ball & hook swivel...
Then another - looks like an original "Everlast #4440" - that is already over $40... granted it's still in original packaging and all, but apparently this will go into a museum display? Or what?!?! I don't understand all I know here. And yes, not the first time for THAT either!But what is the attraction? Is this supply & demand in the market?
I'm an old rookie, and have only used chain-link swivels (for years), so now I'm slowly gathering an assortment of swivel types, just to mess with. I'm on "the list" for a Powermill from Ryan; ordered a plastic ball/hook via Amazon, etc. I recently took a gamble and had the winning bid on this older Everlast #4208:
I took a shot because I've owned one of these bags since forever and was thinking of donating it to a karate studio for their beginners. The auction only listed a speed bag, but the photo showed an Everlast B&H, so on a whim I asked the seller if the swivel was included. "Yep." So... what the heck, right?
It arrived this week, and seems worth the $$, even considering the primo expense for Priority Mail; a little TLC should put things in very nice shape. I don't know if it's a #4440 (how would I determine that? No numbers I can see) but so what? I wasn't trying to score, just saw a chance to add a "classic" metal ball/hook to my collection at a decent price.
But back to my question:: what is the Big Deal with these swivels?
BTW, my apologies if I stepped on anyone's toes with that auction... Oh my!
