Many, many times the item goes for more than I paid for it.
I guess its the" Auction Curse". The "winner" pays the highest price.


I've gotten a few deals on Ebay. Sometimes the seller puts the item in the
wrong area or sets his auction to end at a dumb time. I got a mainsheet
assembly for 18 bucks, a Davis Mk15 Sextant for 55, a New Sony 7600GR for 64
bucks!
And so on. Part of the trick is to not get frustrated and keep looking. If you
don't have fun you'll probably never find a deal.
