I've seen Mark let some bargains go at very fair prices...I think there is a thread on there about one particular machine (EM)...Riverboat gambler perhaps??..

Its always a gamble for those who start them at 99c.

I've listed my LAH today, not for auction but with a BIN price or make an offer.  I prefer to do this as I've never had any luck with just listing a BIN and you still get people trying to do deals outside of ebay.

I think in the current market (speaking for my example), I've got the BIN at a fair price.  If a reasonable offer comes close then I'll sell.

If i ever list a machine i list it at whatever it owes me not including labour then its upto everyone to decide how much my effort is worth.  But i rarely list anymore there are far to many wankers on there now.  No offense to any genuine ebayers out there

But I think MarkC auctions on Ebay are a prime example of honest sellers out there not shilling up bids, that let rare EM's go for $137.00!  So although rare these days bargains are still to be found.

Yes Mark
              Is an  honest ebay seller and if riviera doesn't prove it nothing will.  Not only is he honest he is friendly and helpful so anyone who hasn't dealt with mark should make the effort you wont be disapointed.

  But no comment on his coffee as ive never had one but im sure there not that bad???????

I've done that MANY times. He had a beautiful Fathom restore up on his website. He has what I would call "THE Dream Job".
