Did y'all not understand? It's not about people selling their own stuff.
It's about people who follow eBay for much-needed parts and get sniped by
people who do not examine the listings so assiduously but get tips on the
list. Does this happen much? I don't know.
Read the responses more carefully. It is just as wrong to conspire against a
seller by asking everybody else on the list to drive the price down by not
bidding on the item. I am with Damon on this one. There are both buyers and
seller of parts on ebay who are on this list as well. So this cuts both ways. Those
who lose out on deals will post angry responses. Same people will rave about
their good fortune when they do win the auction.

As far as I am concerned, the item will only fetch what it is really worth on
the open market regardless of who knows what is being sold.
