EBAY IS A POOR PRICEING STANDARD BUT BETTER THAN NOTHING, IT IS TOO UNDEPENDABLE. IF I BID WHAT I CONSIDER TOP DOLLAR FOR A ITEM IT EITHER GETS SNIPED AT THE LAST SECOND FOR 1.00 OVER OR IT MAY GO TO RIDUCLOUS PRICES. IF I DON'T BID I SOMETIMES SEE A $250.00 ITEM GO FOR $50.00 IT CAN BE MADDENING IF YOU DON'T WIN SOMETHING EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE. I HAVE COMPLEATLY ABANDONED SEARCHING EBAY FOR SOME THINGS I HAVE COLLECTED FOR 40 YEARS OR MORE. BUT YOU CAN LOOK AT WHAT DEALERS PRICES START AT AND GET A FAIR IDEA FROM THAT AND WATCH A FEW LIKE THE ONE YOU HAVE SEEN AND SEE WHAT IT CLOSES AT.
ONE FORUM RULE YOU CAN'T BREAK IS DON'T MENTION A EBAY AUCTION ITEM THAT IS STILL ACTIVE, A FEW NEW MEMBERS HAVE MADE THAT MISTAKE. THAT USED NOT TO BE A PROBLEM BUT NOW WILL GET YOU BANNED FROM THE FORUM FOR 10 DAYS. IF THAT RULE WAS RETROACTIVE I WOULD PROBABLY NEVER HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO POST AGAIN.
