Well, you have to start somewhere.

There are lots and lots of people trying to rip sellers off.


Yeah, I'll be known for the "Great Oar Scam of 2004", Ganz.
Sheesh.

I just sold an old laptop not worth more than $50 for nearly $200.
The guy knew exactly what he was bidding on, even emailed me
ahead of time, and then got into a bidding war with someone else.

I'm convinced. I don't through anything away anymore without checking
ebay first. I bought a new computer on ebay and found that there was a
big market for old software. Bingo.


I bought a Davis Mk15 Sextant for 55 dollars on Ebay, then sold it on ebay
for
111.00, which is more than what it cost new!
As you said, there's a buyer for everything.

In a lot of cases, someone needs an item for a specific purpose. I to, sold an
ancient Notebook (an ancient Twinbook of all things) for a lot. The guy needed
it because it happened to fit perfectly into his studio panel and system (he
was a composer).
Worth 20 bucks to me...went for 175 bucks. Everyone was happy.
