So much for Ebay deals!

That's not a fair statement, fastsky. Like EVERY buying/selling/auction genre, you MUST be knowledgeable of the product being offered. AS always, it's "caveat emptor". Let the buyer beware. I'm glad to say, I've never been stung on eBay, though some have. I HAVE gotten some good deals by knowing the product, too. I've looked at some auctions, checked local and mail order prices, and virtually walked away. I've been to R/C swap shops and seen VERY used items being offered at nearly new prices. I quietly put the item down and walked on.

My Daddy always said, "A fair price is what a seller who doesn't want to sell and a buyer who doesn't want to buy agree on." When I sell something, either on eBay or at a swap shop, I decide how much I want for it, depending on how useful it would be to me if I kept it, and how much space it's taking up in my shop. Do I REALLY want to sell it or am I just fishing? Do I REALLY need something, or would it just "be nice to have"? When I sell, I set in my mind a bottom price I'll take. When I buy, I set in my mind a top price I'll pay. If I don't violate that, I don't get burned.
