You don't set what an item is worth.
The highest bidder does.

Stupid? I dunno. My spousal equivalent sure doesn't understand why
hat stuff is worth so much to me. But I have to say that a year later,
I'm still getting my money's worth. I'd say that subjectively, each
piece was worth what I paid. What its objective value might be, I don't
give a damn. It ain't for sale.
When you start to become a problem by bidding 4-10 times what any one
particular thing is worth in non-eBay dollars as this Dennis fellow does
then I'll be sure to point you out as well.
