I remember bidding on this last time it was listed looks like a good project
Seems to be the norm on ebay these days,and the prices of 90% of the pins for sale seems to have them being re-listed time and again,almost every pin seems to be priced$1000-$2000 over the odds.makes it hard to buy a pin.
Some eBayers use listings purely as an advertisement. Personally, I never use eBay as a guide to value machines. The GTB Spirit is a classic example. That SHOULD have sold for at least $2500. I value a restored Spirit at around the $3000 - $3500 mark. EBay suggest I'm way off the mark.
The real eBay deals are from listing which attract buyers by starting at realistic prices. These machines nearly always sell.
Reputations are made and lost with relistings. Our friend with the "Best KISS I've ever seen" is a case in point.
