Paul DBarry, some old roommates of my used to sell those trendy red string kabbalah bracelets on ebay. They would have all the different types/styles in their ebay store and in auctions that ended every two or three days. The would have people by items from their store for twice as much as their auctions would end at; and sometimes within a few hours of their auctions ending. I think people just want the satisfaction of 'getting it now' and from a selling standpoint, it can't hurt to have some higher priced things just sit out there until the right buyer comes along. And as I mentioned above, with the ebay running the fixed price special, it is more attractive for some sellers to let themselves shoot for the stars on some things. I ran some numbers on the fee savings for a card that I might add to my store for $175 a few days ago, if it were to sell under the current ebay promo, my fees would be just over $4.00 less. Paul
