Walt,
We live in a world where logic does not always work. This is especially true when it comes to auctions. I have seen worthless items sell for large sums of money and priceless items sell for little.
You can list the same item numerous times and get an incredible range of prices.
This method works for me on certain items. It has proven to be successful numerous times, that is why I use it.
Please note that this item is the only one in which I listed low with a high reserve....thanks, Ron
