He markets his ebay auctions as events. A friend of mine does the same thing in general line antiques on ebay and even takes out an ad in the antique journal. His sales for those auctions yield 25-35% higher results.

Don't beat the guy up for success.

As a side note, I was 3 for 4 in his auction last night.

The one I lost I was 25% off the top bid.
One my max bid was totally max out to the penny.
One my max bid was 10% over the selling price
and the last one my max bid was 4 times the purchase price.

How is that for all over the board. To me it sounds like ebay.

AGREED
nonsensical witch hunt.

I actually thought his prices were a little more reasonable than normal, but I think that the selection was not quite as good as some of his past auctions. I bid with total resale in mind on everything in this auction (nothing for me personally this time around) and I was 3/14. I won a nice Ruth photo for about 1/3 what it would have gone for in a major auction so I was pleased!
