this is how stupid:

Lack of research always makes a stupid consumer. He has 0
feedback
and when
the endorphins generated from his bidding frenzy wear off, I
doubt
he'll pay
it?


What I will -never- figure out is how these folks know -enough- to
understand what they are bidding on where a specialized item is
concerned, but not enough to know what's exhorbitant. I mean,
it's
not like some total newbie with little or no SW knowledge is
browsing
Ebay and says "Golleee, what's this? I'm gonna get me one o'
them"
Or is it?



I think what happens sometimes is, Some people put a real high
number on an
item thinking nobody will bid much past what its worth and some
other genius
with the same idea does the same thing and Viola!! he gets screwed
trying to
gain the edge.


Assuming the bidding is on the level here, that looks like what
might've happened. There is not one but two people who want to pay
more than $190. So far.
