So Ben.. what about your estate or collection..  for example your Home in
it's original mint condition, you have made no improvements,  lets say you
bought it for 50,000 20 years ago.. and in the present market it has a "
worth "  or value of 150,000..  you gonna hold true to your premise , and
sell it for the 50,000 or will it sell for the prevailing market price of
150,000.. or heaven forbid you get 2 interested buyers, how you going to
break the tie Ben..  we have already made the assumption you are not stupid
and offered it for the 50,000 ..your going to let the price ride on up
between the buyers , and accept the HIGHEST offer .. humm  let me see ,  is
this greed, not hardly.. but you Ben have a dilemma..  mac/mc  w5mc

the point is.. is the set worth $400 or $900

if its worth $400 and the guy get $900 is that not just "greed".

if its worth $400 why not simply place an ad on the many sites around
(ie no need to carry the set from place to place as suggested above)
and sell it at a fair price.

Obviously, all of us in the know would never pay such an exhorbitent
figure for such so by putting it on ebay the seller is simply hoping for
some
poor gulable fool to over bid. Hardly a honest and decent way to work.
