[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 530124, member: 2"] You're right, that certainly isn't either practical or going to happen. I guess what I'd like is for people to use their common sense and think of others before burning wads of cash (difficult to expect, I know.) I have certainly stopped bidding in auctions before when I've realised the other bidder(s) are not going to give up and I'm simply driving up the price. Did the two (or more) people bidding really need that 45C Luke X-Wing desperately enough to drive the price to quadruple what most people think it's worth? I suspect probably not. I pulled out as soon as it went above £500. I could have spent more, I just didn't think it was worth it (taking into consideration the bubble lifting/cracks and poor card.) It's a difficult line to tread, and as said I've certainly overpaid for things before, but by like 25 or possibly 50%, not 300%. It will certainly be interesting to see what the next one that comes up for sale goes for - my bet is on a £2000 eBay "buy it now" that sits there unsold for years. [/QUOTE]
