Are there garage or say sixties in general DJ’s out there who actually play their vinyl at shows??
Confused, sorry

Hard to know if you're being ironic or not, but yes, thousands and thousands of people do that. It's danceable music. Why should people not play their 45's while DJing? Unless you're using a badly set-up turntable with worn/faulty stylus it will not ruin your vinyl in any other way than playing it at home.

This final bid win price does not seem out of line or overpriced to me, as compared to what some are paying for beater copies of garage 45s like the Paragons "Abba"
 
I offered for that record and I was ready to do it another time but when I saw the price going up to $1400 I gave up (I have a limited budget), but I was expecting a price like that.

Hmm , in my mind $ 2000 is still a threshold that only records with few known copies and high demand should break . Now if you take the prices that get paid for copies of the Paragons as a measuring stick crazy will be the new normal.

I was the initial bidder on this auction and bid a whopping $15. It was my “well I guess I might win if every other person watching this is killed in a nuclear holocaust” bid.

The $2,000 threshold for the rarest of the rare 45s existed 20 years ago. It has long since passed.
$2,000 is routine for the sought after classics that are scarce (not 45s lingering for high prices in small quantities). Copies are usually locked into collections and finding one out in the wild somewhere in the year 2020 is closer to the realm of impossibility. When one does come up, you have to make a serious financial play for it. Patience is no longer viable for a collector who wants a 45 yet thinks a copy will be cheaper in the future.

2 grand might be your own personal threshold.
