[ARC5] How Did This Happen?

[Bruce Long via ARC5]

i have had some limited good luck on ebay by looking for items that are mis-identified and or in the wrong catagory.  It might be my imagination but the effectiveness of that stradegy seems to have dropped off over time as- I assume - other ebays have started to use the same trick.  Still there are occasional surprises and bargins to be found

I think eBay is the most "efficient" value setting tool available because
it brings together so many buyers and sellers and publishes the results for
all to see.  Having said that, any time you have a small statistical
population of interested buyers (I think our command sets qualify), there
are going to be some statistical outlying data points beyond the norm such
as two must-have buyers locking horns or the small buying community not
paying close attention all the while assuming someone else will drop in and
take the price up to the norm.  I think the latter happened in this case.
