@Tjlaser:

Bottom line is, if you just want to make some room and want to help the community (of the item you are selling) you will post a free ad to give your item to anyone who wants it. (like market place on here or Craigls List, etc)
Problem is the people who do end up getting it will part it out and sell it on ebay...

Which is why I'd rather take all the money rather then sell it for a cheap price.  But why should I sell for something cheap if its going for alot of $?  If demand dictates $600 for my toaster system, then I will take that $600 happily.  If it only gets $400 then I'll do the same.  I have other odds and ends I'm going to ebay just to clear out room.

hmm.. I see a money making opportunity (of course, nothing to live on..just a penny here and there)  .. "cheapbay".. where all high bids are cancelled and all items sold "on the cheap".

ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I have a set of those speakers boxed (Amiga A10).. I'm going to ebay that tonight and hope I get that much.

i know what you mean.. I buy stuff on ebay but usually you know what a item will go for on ebay.  sometimes people pay rediculous prices for stuff but if thats what they want to do, let 'em.. its their money, they can afford it (or not..depends on if you're the guy that flaked out on my A4000 toaster auction)
