The fact that I can get £110K for my house in the present economic climate does not detract from the fact that it is a £80K property. I may choose to sell it when the market is up, but I would be very stupid to mortgage it for more than £80K unless I was planning to be in it for the long haul.If you consider the valuations offered as an inherent underlying value, and not a value that goes up and down at the whim of the eBay market, you should not go far wrong.I know I paid $879 for a PoVQ without folder, but that was a desicion based in part on the US vs. UK exchange rate. If I had known there was a black folder version coming up the following week I'd have bid differently.Personally, I don't think Acaeums values for products affect their sale price one bit. Far less so that their descriptions and print sequence do.Just my 2...

These aren't meant to be smart-assed answers...If finances were not an issue and I new there was no one else in the running, as little as I thought I could get away with. $750?If finances were not an issue and I new there were others being offered it, probably well over the odds so that the seller wasn't tempted to try and play us off against each other. $1500But finances are an issue, so I would tell them to ask someone else.(Please note that the figures used were for illustrative purposes only and might be way off the mark)

That gives you one set of figures that fluctuate gradually and are likely to increase over time, and a second set of figures that refect the market more closely, but will have highs and lows.
