I don't care how they spend their money, I just thought it was good for a
laugh. I guess anal people like yourself would not see the humor in it. So I guess I have a problem with anal people. "W4UDX" wrote in message ... Check out this insane bidding! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...keTra ck=true |

Because it raises price standards for everyone else. Next time you go to buy an item at a hamfest, the guy selling it will say, "well, I hear one of these went for a million dollars on Ebay..." Inexperienced bidders who don't know what things are worth, and bidding wars between people who desperately have to have an item, tend to raise the overall market value of an item more than it should be. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Well it was interesting and good for a chuckle -- 29 bids on a SB-104A for
$1000 + But DXace has a point -- you can ask whatever you want - on e-bay and hamfests If someone wants it they will pay "insane" prices -- so what ?? Think its called free enterprise -- hooray fer that. At the next Hamfest when a guy quotes e-bay prices -- reply we ain't on e-bay I disagree with "it will inflate the prices" Smart sellers and buyers know better Or should "Inexperienced bidders" are just that -- ebay not withstanding The thing about e-bay is it is world wide -- thousands of potential bidders and some one who has coveted an item for years will come rising up out the woodwork Remember -- money is no object with some bidders in an auction, have never seen that at a hamfest - generally it is a very poor place to sell things. I offered a rare ham book at a hamfest for $25 -- guy sed I'll give you 5 -- I replied which Chapter do you want (;-) Sold on e-bay for $28 Case Closed -- LC "Scott Dorsey" wrote in message ...

What? "more than it should be"???? Who sets the price? The price is whatever the market says the price is. Neither you nor I get to decide. If there are a million well-heeled bidders who run the price to the sky, well, that's the price that the market set. In the last year, I went to a dozen hamfests in the Middle Atlantic. I didn't see a single SB-104A. None, nada, zippo. In fact, I saw, maybe, a dozen interesting, pre-1980's radios. Pre-1980 radio's are vanishing into private collections, for whatever reason. What happens when there are none to be had? The price rises until someone is induced to sell. If you want to see insane prices, go to www.longandfoster.com and enter zipcode 22305. At the bottom of the page there is a $411,900 rental-look row house. de ah6gi/4 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RadioInvestor for more essays on radio pricing. |

I does not appear he has any problem, lots of crazy bidding happens on
ebay. Often times an item will sell for more than it can be had for new. I doubt if anyone has a 'problem' with this, but that does not exclude the inevitability others may find it quite amusing... Recently a Uniden apco25 scanner sold for $710 plus s&h, yet they're readily available for $549 new with warranty. I'm sure many people found that hilarious...
