As a seller you gotta love it when people get caught up in bidding and
they pay more than retail.

People refuse to remember, you need to do your homework.

I have had 7 volumes of an 8 volume set, for years. Mechanical
stuff, not woodworking. Picked them up for about $2-3 each. Been
looking for years for the missing volume. Lately checking eBay. Yep.
Usually $5 starting bid, or higher, plus the shipping, which most
sellers seem to think is worth at least $5. A bit more than I wanted to
pay. I need to watch pennies at times. Checked some book sellers too.
Hmmm, they're usually wanting about $45 per volume. So, kept checking
eBay. Found a seller with 7 of the 8 volumes, including the one I
wanted. Hah. I was high bidder, cost me $11 something, plus just under
$5, shipping. Heh heh. Now I can sell the 6 extras on eBay, and charge
real shipping costs.

You know it's gonna be a bad day, when you turn on the news and they're
showing escape routes out of the city.
