I have been following two items from the same seller for 3.5 years. Just re-lists over and over. He has a deck of cards for well over $100. Started at $95 for well over a year, maybe two. No sale. Once, probably by accident, he listed it at $59...no sale. So, what does he do? He raises the starting bid the next go-round to $150, where it has stayed for several years. I saw something similar, but not exactly on ebay about 6 years ago sell for $15, in MUCH better condition. I wrote to this seller several times and told him about it, and even sent him a scan from the other auction. Not much of a response. How much would that have cost? The auctions started way before free auctions started, and they are every month, so it's not a matter of waiting for free auction days. I just don't get it. I have checked his other stuff and it all looks similarly overpriced. I haven't paid much attention, but it always looks like the same stuff, approximately.

Makes you wonder.
