An item is only worth what a person is willing to buy it for. If someone eventually buys the Jag stick top for that price then good luck to the bloke who sold it. That’s the anture of the beast on ebay, irrespective of the price he acquired it for, he’s not ripping anyone off, he’s being open with the price “Take it or leave it”
If you were selling a car or a house on the open market and were offered twice or three times the market price who on this forum wouldn’t sell?
Agree again, its an old chestnut but its a strange thing but when someone gets a real bargain and we have all heard the stories and can read regularly about them on this forum.
That is considered amazing luck, a coup. No one thinks of the seller who may have sold something for 100s less than it was worth.
Yet when something appears over priced its seen as some sort of crime.
I think its basic human natural, sellers want to get the most and buyers want to pay the least.
Dont get me wrong I often smile when I see a thing thats seriously over priced, I just think that sellers wasted his listing fee.
Its extremely nieve to blame sellers saying they are pushing up prices, its simply market forces supply and demand, it cannot be controlled and its how things work.
Personally I think ebay has got cheaper in real terms on the majority of aviation items as there is a much bigger supply than there used to be.
