Eh, what standard are we holding people to? You ever shop for a used car(maybe even some rare spec of a sports car)? When you finally found a good deal did you shout in the streets and put out an ad to make sure no one else is around to make a greater offer?

~~Plus, who plays out a mental moral dilemma with a historical museum any time they want to buy something?~~

Actually I think this might be a false equivalency OP, because this isn't just any old used car. I think it's fair to at least stop and question whether this should go to some greater good or not.

It’s the equivalent to an old sports car that was impractical when it was first released, but the pinnacle of its time.
