Default 19th Century Bat on Ebay...

Posted By: Mark Steinberg

Not surprising.... it is definitely correct for the period. I bet the winning bidder would have been willing to go lots higher (if he had just been bid up by someone else...)

Ebay is funny... some items (like this one) go for way below market value, and others will have about 12 lowball bids, with only two serious snipes at the end. I can't count the number of times that one single underbidder has pushed the winning bid up about 800%.

I am stil trying to figure out what's worse in that scenario... being the underbidder, or being the wining bidder?
