eBay disaster

Well, one problem for ne (had I been looking for an RK05 pack) is that I have no idea what's inside that box, and nor apparently do you. I will believe that you are honest, and that uou truely believe there is a brand new and good 12 sector RK05 pack in there, but we don't _know_. It's possible it's been damaged at some time. it's possbie the plastic has fallen apart, or whatever. I'd rather hand a good used pack that one that I have no idea about. Of course the second problem is that the first thing I would do on receieving something like that is open the box and format the pack. So I wouldn't want to pay a premium price for an new unopened one (since I'll immediately lower the value). While the origianl box is nice to have, it is one more thing to store and not something I would be especially interested in. I haev found it's impossible to predict the prices that things will sell for on E-bay. Several times I've seen things with an opening bid of perhaps $5. I've thoguht that it was a rare an interesting item and put in a bid of $100 for it (and ecpected it to go for a lot more), only to find I end up winning it for the opening bid. Conversely there have been times when I've thought 'nobody will want that' and put in a sensible (if somewhat low) bid, only to find it sells for much more. My only thoguth is to set a reserve or a higher opening bid. -tony
