It's a shame some of them are just sitting there and not being played by people who deserve it and don't have the mommy to afford it.

The sound of these violins is not unique- hearing tests show that many other old and new violins sound just as good.  And they're only worth millions in the same way that a Van Gogh painting, or a couple kilos of crack or rhinoceros horn, is "worth" millions: the market puts prices on things based on demand, not necessarily value.
