If you "want a fair price", post it For Sale in any of these groups.
The fact that you want to auction it suggests that you want more than
a fair price.

Rubbish. An auction is the best way to get a fair price because the free
market is allowed to deterimine the value. What could be fairer than that?

Idiots just can't get that point through their heads. Damned, if an open
auction
doesn't define fairness... nothing else does.

"Fair price"...??? For whom?

eBay prices are typically HIGHER than what can be had through
other resources simply because people get caught up in the bidding
process. Great for the seller, I guess.

But how is this not a "fair price?" Nobody is twisting the bidders' arms,
forcing them to pay. Is the system responsible because they make a poor
decision and overbid?

I suppose, in this junk society where nobody's responsible for their own
actions, it fits right in. Just as McDonalds is responsible for people getting
fat and RJ Reynolds is responsible for people getting lung cancer. *sigh*
