But isn't that the whole idea of an auction? Sometimes you get great deals...sometimes not.

That is very true but does it set the value? I for one say no.

It depends on if sellers friend is helping bid the price up. If i see the slightest thing strange in the bidder history, i wil not bid. I go with my gut, you lose some and you win some. Roger

[/ QUOTE ] EXACTLY! Another great reason why ebay is NOT the place to set values.

Get your buddys to bid it so it looks like it's worth a ton of money and the undeucated will bite at the end.

A smart buyer will be able to tell right away that things are not on the up and up.

Sellers watch ebay for items that set new highs. You will often see an increase in supply the following weeks. The high price is usually not met the second time around. If you keep watching. You will find a few good deals on ebay. Earl
