Actually, people often bid high on the Ebay items, but in my experience
(especially with MD stuff), the high bidder never sends any money.
I had the same MZ-1 on Ebay 5 times, each time a different high bidder.
Each time, a deadbeat bidder. I'm getting ready to put it up again. I
guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.
So... just because the bidder bids high, doesn't always mean someone
sent the money for it.
In the early days of Ebay, deadbeat bidders were rare. More recently,
seems about 70% of my high bidders end up being deadbeats. Almost half
of all my high bidders with feedback of less than 10 end up being
deadbeats, and 95% of them with no feedback end up being deadbeats.
