Stating prior sales to me is a waste of time on the part of the seller and
actually a partial turn-off. The seller is trying to make people think that
it is worth that much when in reality he is deluding himself. There is one
seller on ebay who does this on a regular basis and the
I agree with Claude. In fact, I also agree with every single thing
he said about sniping and auctions with extended endings. I think
I'll just keep casually quiet and maybe let Claude do all my talking
for me. I know that's usually a privilege that comes with a cost but
on Mopo, things

One more important thing about past results is that you rarely know for
certain that the transaction was ever completed, and if so, if it was

your ad asks: is this title worth 150??? it sure is!!!
the truth is, it may or may not be. just because it sold for that
price last week, doesn't mean it is worth that. last week's bidding
got it that high. in the reverse, you may get 75.00 for it. that is
the gamble with ebay. i would
Exactly, Jeff. And Michael, I definitely think the premise is fine,
but the inverse is true as well, has it gone for less anywhere
recently? The bottom line; the WITNESS insert that sold last week
was worth $150 to SOMEONE. Unfortunately that may be the only person
that it's worth that
