Maybe this is how it works when you are a seller.
But the few items (used car parts) I watched and wanted to buy on Ebay
ended up selling near or more than the cost for new ones! I was so
disgusted the last time that I gave up on Ebay. But looking recently at
cars, I've noticed quite a bit of bidding on several old MGB rust buckets.
Maybe I'll put my 71 BGT up for auction - under normal circumstances, I
don't think I could sell it even though its in great mechanical shape.
