Don't be angry at eBay, Vincent, they don't set the prices. It's strictly
buyer-seller generated. If someone's willing to pay $80 for something I
would only give $20 for, I let them have it! Another one will come along.
I've also sold stuff that was worth a dollar or two, where the high bid was
over $50! Great for me!! Some of the stuff we feel we need is becoming
rare enought that some people are willing to pay ridiculous prices, but I
guess that's the nature of a free market economy. . . .
