Astute observation.  The 75 'lux market by any account is an illiquid 
market with a fixed supply and limited number of buyers.  Observed 
prices are based on infrequent transactions by marginal buyers and 
sellers, any of whom may well have been influenced by a single blog 
entry.  It takes exactly two people to move the price: one buyer and one 
seller.

p.s. i own a 75 'lux which had I not the noctilux would certainly get 
more exercise!
