Wow!!!! Do you know what the starting price was ? If it was put up at 99c or so then really its the responsibility of those bidding to have some common sense. It's not the seller who is at fault then for such crazy prices.

I cant remember what the starting price was, but when I started "watching" it, it was around the $25 mark.
There is another one on there now, with a starting price of $180.

OMG that is not fair. I don't mind people making a little profit but that is daylight robbery.
Reminds me of a toy car called frosty we were looking at buying DS4 for Christmas. It retails at $10 and he adores the character but it is a limited release and hard to find in stores. eBay was selling one for $3,000.

i avoid eBay, it seems to be a market that anybody without any qualifications can make money eg. its a free for all. If you get something at an inflated market price and are happy that you got it (even if you were ripped off) so be it - cos eBay is an open market. You have to be happy and you really can't complain. On the other hand if you know more than the buyer you are in a good place and thats good luck, but the only problem is being able to distinguish an original from a fake and so many other variables.

Hey! Yeah, I saw that EDC go on ebay for $285! Really...who would pay that much for a simple cookbook! I can't remember the starting price, but for it to go that high someone else much have been willing to pay $284!!!
If I want to have a giggle I look up ebay...there is always someone buying something for stupid prices on there!
(I hope I haven't offended anyone on here! please, please don't take offense!!!)
