I submit that nobody on ebay pays too much for anything. They pay what
they are willing to pay, and not a penny more. That amount may or may
not be more than what the person could have gotten the item for
elsewhere.

I recently sold a new in box Sharp mini disc on ebay for twice what I paid
for it on closeout at Sears 2 years ago. Who could guess that this
particular unit acquired a five star reputation and even used units are
going for over what they cost new?

I got a CD burner and never used the thing. The last 5 minutes of the
auction was QUITE exciting.

Most of my ebay experiences are nowhere near as exciting.
