Has the economy recovered that much? Did some collectors win the Powerball lottery?!
Buying on Ebay is a fine art. You just have to be persistent. Most sellers put stuff up to test the waters and see what kind of action they get on any one item, and if it doesn't sell on the first round, the prices usually come down reasonably.
But Ebay has changed the seller pricing on sold items and what we tax we pay on items sold. The higher the sale price, the higher the final tax.
You just have to know how to keep your eyes out for those items that aren't selling, because like I said if they don't sell on the first or second round, sellers usually bring down their pricing.
No one in their right mind, or at least no one who knows anything about collecting linerania, would pay $500 or $600 for items that would normally go for less than $50 or $75.
A cutaway of the ssUS from a 1952 LIFE magazine got up to about $600.....you can walk into practically any used bookstore and pick up a copy for $20 or less.
The frustrating thing is that, while Ebay says it encourages folks to report things like this, there's nothing it will do about it because the higher prices go, the more they take.
