Perception is reality. Especially on eBay. If the spin is good enough and
the buyer naive, almost any price is possible.

Plus the adage: "One man's trash is another man's treasure" seems to be the
order of the day on eBay as well. It's amazing to me what people will pay
for a velvet Elvis picture or a Hummingbird feeder made of Popsicle sticks.
Hmmmmmm.......maybe I should start selling those.......
