This sort of crap not only happens on ebay. I never fail to receive a few calls from people when I place wanted ad's for tube radios, etc. that think just because their item is OLD; then, it's PRICELESS! Just because something is OLD does not mean it's worth a FORTUNE. If the item is in terrible shape; it's likely not going to bring much. The item could be in mint condition; but, if there's not a lot of demand for it, it won't likely bring much. On the other hand, there are newer items that have a high demand that bring big $$. It all boils down to the law of supply & demand.
I've often found that showing too much interest in an item causes the price to triple. Someone may have an item that they were about to throw away until one shows some interest. Then, the price goes sky high just to see how bad one wants it. That seems to happen every time I place a wanted to buy ad in the paper.
