"I have a question that has puzzled me for some time....... On a cheap
item, $20- buy it now, why would anyone bother to watch it? "

Hello Jim !

Maybe the IRS.

$20 is more money than 2/3 's of the current eBay prices in the
collectibles category.

Maybe they debate between (grocery shopping and cooking a romantic home
cooked steak dinner for two), or (some old rock or 40-kopeck (USD
$0.01) postage stamp).... so they put it on a watch list so it doesn't
get lost.

Or maybe long on bids and with a fixed perk budget. Losing other
auctions, he would pounce on the $20 thingy.

Maybe she is 11 years old and $20 is her week's allowance and she is
waiting for her "paycheck". Or ditto, retired, fixed income, unemployed.

Do you happen to have several of the same items for $20? Maybe one of
your competitors thinks $10 has been the standard for whatever the item
is, and he may be thinking, let's see how quickly Jim sells these at
$20 !

My money is on the latter,

Kindest wishes,
Doug

After playing all summer, I find that I must get back to work. So I
have
started listing on ebay again. All items so far are buy it now listings
with
some of them accepting reasonable offers. Noteable items are a complete
Portales Valley Stone, nice Esquel slices, complete Millbillillie,
Gibeon,
Planetaries etc, Link is below:

I have a question that has puzzled me for some time....... On a cheap
item,
$20- buy it now, why would anyone bother to watch it? It is only $20-
and not
an auction where you would want to know where it ended or wanted to bid
at the
last minuite? What is the logic behind cluttering your watched item
list with
this kind of cheap item?

Good luck to all as I have some exceptional items offered and plan on
adding
more in the next few days.
