Well, if some sucker is determined, I am not surprised.  I don't discount seller shill bids, but who knows?  Later Kalamazoo basses have new organ-donor appeal.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

I suspect EB 2 is behind it. Coerced by Herr Westheimer. It's all a revisionist ploy to undo the bridge development of the last three decades.

But I am not fooled.

why would anyone pay so much for a stupid bridge?

I can see paying a lot for one, especially if you had a particularly clean old beast that had lost its Evertilt.  My definition of a lot being based on my giving one away a couple of years back.  But at a certain price point, it makes not too much sense.  They typically have been trading hands at less than two bones, so I would imagine that will shake out as the new dollar level for a while.  Hopefully they will become like most things that inch up in the price category, where the new demand is met by increased supply.
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

In the case of a Kalamazoo, you could probably buy the whole bass for less than that particular bridge.  Can't do that with a 50s Fender. 
Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

Looks like it was down to two bidders battling for it. Sometimes one is lucky. Oh, and I like the name Evertilt.
