I was thinking similar. I hardly dare calculate the total cost of some of my ongoing refinished builds - a 'cheap' frame, refinishing, all the period components (nowhere near 4 grand but still not something I could get away with in one hit). But that is hours or even years of entertainment. If you spuffed the same money in one auction what does that get you? Anything beyond changing perishable stuff like tyres and grips and you're ruining it! You're right, every nut would have tool rash on it 😂
