In various venues of specific cars, there will always be educated agents that are contacted by buyers to find, evaluate & procure certain cars, in this case of Pantera widebodies that agent is "Sharkey".
I personally would seek out an agent that has knowledge & especially the most important part, that being "Contacts" when pursuing an acquisition of a relatively expensive & limited production numbers car.
It's NOT as though Sharkey has the ability/ies to raise a paddle for an independent buyer at an auction, that is PURELY the action of the bidder.
The current rise in Pantera values in all configurations for myself is reminiscent of Ferrari Dino & Lamborghini Countach appreciation over the last 5 years.
The skeptics that balked in disbelief at $200,000.00 Ferrari Dinos, must be in full cardiac arrest at current $500,000.00 Dino prices.
Learned a LOOOOOOOOOONG TIME AGO!!!...that sitting on the bench in regards to NOT buying cars because of personal perceived "Over Valuation"...meant I NEVER got in the game!!!
Lesson well learned...thus the reason I currently own 18 Sports Cars...MANY having TRIPLED in value during my ownership!
