Oh they make me mad

[Gregor]

OK I will try to conform to the rules about live auctions. I found a scorcher starting at $150, I contacted the person and I simply asked what the reserve was, expecting around $200. They told me $500. Not to be mad, but the car was not complete and was missing many items. It looked to be in a very poor state and would have required about $200 just to make it worth putting on the floor. My green one sold for $500 and I think that was more than I expected, but I did spend allot of time and patience on that one. She was my first [:I] This one looks to have been found in a pile. [xx(] Maybe it is just me... for people to even expect $100 from a car like that would be grand. []

your best to pass this one up. It's crazy the prices some people anticipate for their stuff.

yeah I agree it has to do with a lot of emotions involved I think when some folks sell their items. I try to be reasonable when folks ask me for a buy it by telling them to look at past ebay auctions and condition of the item vs mine and give me a offer, but most folks dont understand that.

Why be mad? If the reserve is $500 it most likely won't sell, so the seller has wasted a listing fee.

You should feel good!

yes...just sit there with a smug smile on your face sayin 'i told you so' when it gets relisted for the 4th time

And this doesn't only happen in ebay, I also smile to myself when I see the same item being listed on TC traderoom for the 5th time still too highly priced, seems some people just don't get it []
