Not everyone follows ebay EVERY WEEK. Sometimes you get some action, and gauge the potential price by the number of followers, NOT the highest bid. Because if there is interest, eventually someone will come along and HAVE to have it, and bid to win. I've been selling on eBay since 1999, and have done it myself. Doesn't always work, but eBay is a fun way to make a little change for me, not my livelyhood, so if I bet wrong, no problem. If I needed to dump something in a hurry, this tactic would not be my choice. Ebay and classifieds are not charity for poor and cheap hobbyists., If you don't like the price, move on.

X2....I sell alot on eBay, stuff doesn't sell, I will wait for awhile, then usually lower the price. Funny thing is, I have had several items not sell at $9.99 2 or 3 different times, then all of a sudden people are interested a few weeks later and the item sells for $50, funny, if the winning bidder was on a week earlier he could of had it for $9.99! I have also raised prices $10 and the parts do get bids so I understand this. The eBay seller is a member here, sometimes his prices are on the higher side but he has very nice and usually rare parts.

Sounds like if you were watching the auction you are looking fir a 340? So why not email the seller and ask why the price increase and make him an offer? I also bet if you were to search his ads on this site you will find it listed here and it may be cheaper, probably get a better deal too.
