This is why I don't use E-bay

I bid $32 on a non-operational Realistic (Radio shack) 3-head cassette deck. No bids and 4 hours left, sure what the heck. It sold for $78. WTH? I like to play it this way: Bid once, as much as your willing to pay for it. If it goes higher, walk away. Sure it will sell for 2 bucks more than your high bid but its probably the guy just not wanting to let it go for some unseen minimum value he thinks its worth. Shopgoodwill.com pulls some weird minimum bid BS too, The stuff is F'n given to them!
