My ebay "What the?" More moment

[eddiecurrent]

I was looking on ebay for a decent backup detector, and I found a Fisher CZ-5 up for auction, one owner, kept in closet for years after a few uses, clean and in good working condition.
The bidding started at about $150, then after a few days stagnated at $220. Stayed there with 5 bids till the last day.
I figured I'd come back the last hour to bid, maybe get it for $275 plus $20 shipping. Seems like a lot but I like CZ's.
Then, as I sometimes do, I forgot to log on, realized I was an hour late. I logged on to see what great price I missed, because I can be a masochist sometimes, and that detector went for $680 with shipping!
What the....it's a 15 yr old detector. No warranty, no assurance it didn't have issues, no returns.
$680.
I'm amazed.

Go back and see who the bidders were - I have found that things that sell for a crazy price or normally bought from a "Ebay Newbee" - 1st time out of the gate.

Guess I need to list my White's 4900DL Max

I know this post is old but it still remains true, I just bought a used f4 , I got it at a decent price because it wasn't supposed to be in working ordered, it was. My guess they put the batteries in backwards. Anyway, when I was looking around, all I saw was old overpriced machines. I have a Xterra pro that cost less, has more features, like waterproof, different frequency options, and goes deeper than most I've seen on there. It's crazy, it's hard to find deals on anything anymore, but this defies logic.
