Agree? Disagree?


Prices on EBay have never made any sense. I bought a Play station game for
my daughter a while back. There were two sellers, offering the same game,
new, unopened, very similar description. The one auction went for close to
$100, but the other game, that bidding ended maybe 1/2 hour after the first,
I bought for $35.
You figure it out, I know I can't!

It's like that in real auctions sometimes. And sometimes people hold
back waiting for the cheaper prices and then get into a bidding war
for the few of whatever that are left so you see the opposite effect.

A lot of what's on eBay these days is not really in limited supply so
the real auction dynamic doesn't show up.
