Has it not seen $250+ on eBay already? Now I might also suggest that pricing it that high will help drive the normal price that high. A self fufilling prophecy.

A self fufilling prophecy.I know that they snag pretty high prices on EBay, but I didn't thing that they had hit the $250 plateau yet. The last one I saw (Disclaimer: I am not in the habit of looking for them myself, I just notice the ones posted in the interesting items thread here ) IIRC went for ~$150 or so, I think. I will say though about the whole self-fullfilling prophecy thing does seems to becoming more and more common place though.

Check out his recent feedback:eBay Feedback Profile for cougarrinardNothing says "Great Customer Service" quite like being insulted by the person that you bought something from with multiple misspelled words and incomplete sentences.

They would have to at least bid $8 (but instead bid $10) which puts them in the lead by .01 - what is it you don't get - the fact you said about the auction registering your high bid instead of $7.5 ? (That I couldn't explain other then a fluk.)ShaneG.
