    Yeah I've done that a few times. Ill see a rare item that has been on a lot so the price is high, Ill watch it just to see the final price.

    Sometimes the curiosity factor is too much, like a road accident, you just have to look.

    Yes, if only to reinforce the notion i learned early in life, that a fool and his money are soon parted.

    haha yeah it's always interesting to see if this stuff sells. I watch more items that I don't want than ones that I do. And the ones I do want are never affordable

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    The W&B isn't nearly as bad as others I've seen, still definitely not worth the closing price though IMO.

    I've seen several DDs and Pumas with severe scale rot sell for hundreds
