I think this would fall into the humour catagory, I looked on Ebay, and a fricken d handle back breaking shovel went for $325 bucks. Can you believe it? I once heard that just when you make something idiot-proof...they invent a better idiot...heck..I think the idiots just have more money.....there is one born every minute...and they all live. Try to keep a smile on guys...Rick.

I can't believe this stuff actually sells for those prices. I recently got into a bidding war on e-bay for a mule part....I stopped just below what I knew I could buy the part NOS from a supplier, but the other parties kept bidding until the price was WAY OVER the NOS price! Unbeleavable!!

I know a fellow that buys stuff on there all the time, it's beyond the pale what he's regularly spending. His rationale is it's an 'investment', but even given the future value of some of the items, it's as risky a venture as the stock market. I think the bulk of these guys that are rolling out the dollars are baby boomers blowing their retirement or their kid's college funds. Good for you if you're the seller.
