$$ wondering ??

We may ridicule, laugh at, make lowball offers and call you names Ira but the bottom line is it doesn't matter what you or anybody paid for any box, all that matters is that a buyer and seller meet at an mutually acceptable price.

Everything else is just chatter and it's rediculous for anybody to get upset over what you sold a box for, it's yours and you can do what you want with it. Just because someone may want it cheap becuase you bought it cheap certainly doesn't mean you are somehow obligated to sell it under market value. We buy the toys we can afford so if you can't afford it don't attack the seller and don't call the seller out in a public forum.

Ira, next time you find an RX-7700 at your local FL garage sale for $20, Please please gouge me for an extra $200.
Next time you pickup a mint RC-M90 at your local thrift store for $30, please make a killing -- on me -- and profit an extra $400
Next time you happen by the flea and pickup a RX-5350, I would love it if you would steal an extra $300 from me.

and... next time you find a gold conion on craigslist for ".....free, moving, must clear junk now, just pickup...." and you need to waste $6 gas on your guzzler toyo pickup to get this sucker, feel free to charge and gouge me an extra $800. Hell, I'll even throw in the $6 gas too to make sure that you profit from this to the EXTREME.

All that and I would gladly let you rip me off big time. Hell, I'll even smile as you do it, and not just a fake smile, a REAL smile. Of course, until I see the shipping bill.

But never, ever, EVER sell to those guys that are unhappy and can't smile because they know how much you paid and can't get over that. So go ahead, and buy low, and keep flipping 'em .................to me!

Couldn't have put it better myself.

(Well....ok, maybe I'd have got the spelling of 'ridiculous' right!!)

Seriously, good post MB.

It's bobby's fault for not having a spell checker.

Yep, I wonder how that first bidder feels about the BIN now?

Your right though, good BIN's get wiped out because people are trying to be super cheap. It's ebay people, how often do good items go cheap that are listed correctly?
