A lot of dosh to pay for a single photo but...

[Revi16]

I really don't see what the issue is with prices for pics or anything else on ebay. Apparently $486 was the going price that day, simple.
I see a lot of people complaining about high prices and that they can't afford them. Well, everyone can't afford a Ferrari either, should Enzo lower the prices as well?

I bid on stuff all the time without "bid snipe". I use a device called a clock, if you look at it you can figure out when to put in a last second bid.

I would suggest bidding in the last few seconds, bid the most "YOU" are willing to pay and see what happens. Bid snipe isn't magic, if you put in the highest bid you "WILL" win.

I recently won an original F4U-4 Corsair factory manual for $11.00 because the other fools only bid $9 or $10 dollars. I put in one bid of $185 because that was "MY" max price. You can't lowball and think you're going to win.
The very next week another copy of the same Corsair manual sold for $242.

It's a world market out there, bid large, bid to crush!

I have also never heard any of the complainers say, "I won't accept that much money for my pic/item, it's to much. Let me give some back".
