Jeff nailed it. The smaller items had a larger pool of bidders who
could afford them - so bidding was more competitive. The larger items
appealed only to a smaller pool of monied collectors - so the bidding
was more subdued. It usually happens that way with these types of
auctions. The ones who can afford it the most, get the bargains,
while the petty bidders pay the most.
