I some of the auctions
highlighted the sad thing is that the items are still available
from GM and at a fraction of the final auction price.
How do you explain this?

Because they do not do their homework before bidding. Using key words such as rare, NOS, etc.. gets the uneducated to bid. If I see a GM part advertised as rare, NOS or discontinued, I search sites such as gmpartsdirect.com. All you do is punch in the number and if it's available it will show up and give you the cost.
For example I saw an auction for the bowtie center caps for the 1970 and up rally wheels and he stated they were rare and discontinued. He was asking $400.00 for the set. Even though I knew they were still available I punched in the part number he listed (3989479) and not only were they available but they were only $53.22 a piece through gmpartsdirect.
Always best to do your homwwork before hand.
