Ebay Heartbreak (was: ebay shenanigans)

Looks to me that the guy has a high volume of scrap go through his place, or he has access to a scrapper. A lot of his sales are chips that he sells through the vintage listing. Looks like he completes less than 10 percent of his sales. Mostly due to high prices. I am surprised at the price of Gold Scrap though. He first started off trying to sell 10 pounds of fingers. After a couple of times he dropped it to 2 pounds at a time. Sold one for $99. He seems to think scrap is worth $49 a pound. Most scrappers have found that they should list it under Gold Bullion not antiques. I sold off about 4 pounds of old pentium processors and, surprisingly, got nearly $36 a pound, which I thought was higher than the scrap value???????? Paxton, Astoria
