I would think as much as you post about eBay and the old things you
like, you'd know. I have a hunch that item might have sold for more
during December. It's always hit-and-miss with eBay auctions. We
make over $500 a week on eBay and rarely loose on an auction, but it
can happen. If someone wants something they don't care what it costs.
Kinda like corn flakes shaped like Illinois.
