Good news of sorts

[ffutures]

Am I a bad person to be pleased by this?

Neverwhere ended up at £26 plus £2 postage, and the buyer has already paid. Which surprised me considerably because it cost me £14.65 plus £2 postage. Can't believe that people don't check Amazon and other prices before they bid on eBay, but it's far from the first time I've seen something like this happen.

I'm tempted to buy another and see if it happens again, but with my luck it'd end up selling for £4.99 or something...

I'm most surprised by people who bid items on eBay past the Buy It Now price for that exact same item on eBay. I've noticed this in the context of the only things I really buy on eBay -- miniatures for Star Wars Miniatures and Mechwarrior.

Sure, I get that one might not think to countercheck against Amazon, but surely they would have noticed when you were looking for the item in the first place on eBay?

Random note -- someone bombed (small bomb) the PayPal section of the eBay headquarters on Halloween. I don't know if that made it past the local news here, what with elections and other more international concerns.

Nobody else was selling it on eBay, and I didn't post a Buy It Now price. So presumably they thought it was very rare.
