I agree. Didn't the same crap happen when Fergie went ? Football fans / mega hype / and eBay . What a dangerous combination .

Ah but. in the first auction at least, it was a mint condition programme being bid on. The Buy it now was "Mind condition" Laughing

In other sections of EBay, the "Buy It Now" option is often reserved for the more run-of-the-mill stuff, in many cases where vendors have bulk items and want to get rid one by one.

I guess, in my case, I still associate "Buy It Now" with that vendor behaviour and tend to steer clear.

Just a thought.

Well I've sold 3 copies in as many days, so I'm not complaining about sales, just wondered why people are so stupid to pay even MORE over the odds than they do Smile

PS
Paul you really undersold yourself there
