Yesterday I sold an item for $100 and only paid $1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130310031394&ssPageName=ADME:L:EOISSA:US:1123


I only listed it on ebay Sunday evening. What did I do? Makes me think I should have asked for a lot more on the BIN. But I am happy and I hope the new owner is happy.

I did a lot of research and could find nothing on this exact item.

I googled the name of the person who bought my microscope. Without giving away too much he is a famous scientist/professor in Canada. He has been the head of a research program on diabetes, cancer and other words I can't even pronounce. He has published over 50 medical articles in the last 5 years.

I could tell there was some kind of high IQ just in the emails back and forth this AM (8 in total)
