Explain this auction to me

[Slette]

How is this selling for such a high price: http://cgi.ebay.com/09-national-treasur ... 563bd52a22

When I won this one for less than half: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWNX:IT ?

Granted, the title on the one I won isn't the best, but I've never seen one go this high before.

Man I wish I had an answer. I think I've went back and forth between them about 20 times and can't explain it.

I mean there's small things - like it's usually not a good idea to end a listing on Saturday night, and the patch may be a bit better than yours......but that doesn't account for such a large difference. I mean it's not even jersey numbered or something....if anything you got the better # with 69 ( lol sorry that was the 13 year old in my coming out )

Now I hope someone can give an answer too. lol

Ok, pay very close attention as this may get a bit tricky to understand.





You. Got. A. Good. Deal.

I think yours is closer to real current value of the item. Two hundred bucks is what some of the /5s have gone for.

Fair enough. I guess they don't occur enough for me to recognize them. I'm still floored with the price that first one was approaching though. Current book value is $100 for it.
