Default E-Bay pratts, still at it.

A while back I posted about folk paying more for second hand items off e-bay than they could pay for new ones with a little research.

Last night I was following a secondhand item, and someone won it for one penny more than he could have had a brand new one.

What motivates folk like that?

Add it to the list of full credit cards, glass edged mortgage, two new cars and a loan for every seat and appliance in the house.

Some things are worth more used. Was this the item?

I've done it twice with steering wheels I've bought, not liked, and sold on for a profit. I think the excitment gets to some people...
