[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 417607, member: 7076"] I've totally seen this. It's a "Must Win" effect. Regardless of the price. I've gotten to the point that when bidding on Ebay, I set a price in my mind at the beginning of the auction, and I don't bid until the last minute of the auction. If I win it, great. If not, then I haven't spent more than the product is worth, and I'm still happy. I love Craigslist for all the deals you can find. I've literally purchased and sold over 20 outboards, never having spent more than $200 (for a running 88hp). But at the same time I wonder how some people ever sell things on there. Like ads where they are trying to sell a $17000 boat but don't want to bother removing the cover, or they take a picture from their bedroom looking out the window. A little effort and an accurate description brings in significantly more money. [/QUOTE]
