<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2528040, member: 27832&quot;]And that&#039;s one problem with eBay: it&#039;s easy to find stuff. It&#039;s easy for <i>everybody</i> to find stuff -- including people who don&#039;t know what they&#039;re doing. And if two people who don&#039;t know what they&#039;re doing find the same item, they can bid it up to unrealistic levels. If <i>one</i> person finds an auction at an unrealistically <i>low</i> price, he can bid it up -- and so can the next one, until it&#039;s no longer at a low price.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are still ways to win. Auctions with poor titles, descriptions or photos can fly under the radar of most searchers, but you need skill, experience, and/or luck to find the ones that are worthwhile. Buy It Now listings sometimes appear with below-market prices, and if you spot them before someone else does, they&#039;re yours -- again, skill and experience, but mostly luck (searching at the right time).</p><p><br /></p><p>And, as [USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] said, there are a lot of deliberately deceptive sellers, and there&#039;s a lot of garbage. It takes a certain personality to spend the time and effort needed to find the good stuff. If you enjoy coin-roll hunting or metal detecting, you might have the right personality. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
