The joy of ebay

My question: Hi, I'm interested in your item but can I check the price as it's listed at £5 more than the new cost?

Reply: Well, it's almost new and I have to recoup the postage.

My reply: good luck with your sale.

Bonkers. Funny thing is, sometimes people will pay over the odds. I was watching a neat guitar stand once and thinking of bidding, then checked the new price and found the item had already been bid up above that!

Whereas I bought Steve Vai's Carvin head and 4x12 cab for less than half the new price (though it was pretty shagged, admittedly) - I would have beem happy to pay a premium!

That's pretty cool though, whatever the price.

I would have bought the 'Eat 'em and Smile' head a couple of years ago if I 'd had the cash. I nearly bought Tracii Guns BC Rich Gunslinger about 3yrs ago, went over what I could afford though.
