Mclaneinc Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thankfully, most folk looking for gear on eBay are in the know and just ignore idiotic prices, 99% of these crazy 'sales' will get relisted time after time, with zero takers. Of all the fee's that eBay has, there really needs to be a time wasters fee.. We can discuss the old what it's worth to a person thing to justify high sales price's, but by now we know that a standard auction will confirm if that is the case without stupefying the price beforehand.. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/322547-are-people-crazy-on-ebay/page/5/#findComment-4930249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. If nobody bites on stupid prices and these people relist over and over sitting on the goods they will eventually come down to earth and realize their stupidity. Or maybe not. Nobody (I hope) is going to pay nearly $200 for a cardboard box. What are these people thinking?
