KYA27, I agree with you. I bought a telegraph key for $20 and sold it on ebay for $2027.00.
Turned out it was a very rare antique from 1923, only 4 good keys of that type were known before.

So people may lol you, but I know the cash is there.

I agree I must spend some time hunting for stuff, but that is an enjoyable pastime.
With my tech knowledge, age and antique knowledge, I rarely make mistakes, but I do make them, and so you lose one and that teaches you another bit of the puzzle.

Ebay would be even better for sellers if sniping was prevented. Make a lot more for Ebay as well. As a buyer and seller I am aware of the good/bad of sniping.

Does anyone know how the German Ebay implementation of a waiting period at the close for final bids has affected Ebay?

Funyy how I like to snipe when I buy, because I know it allows me to grab items cheaply from fools who do not use the proxy system
