Quite a few buyers have later deduced they were probably shilled when they try and resell the item and can't even get half.


For various reasons, I think going by a single sales prices is a dubious way to determine value.
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT.

JAKE, Good point on the X statement. Two might tango on a rare item. Then another will surface and one bidder is out of the equation.

PS: I knew you weren't drunk David...hence my attempt at humor with yoda and boom boom stick... aparently some people believe Yoda truly does exist
