TU55 an ebay

On ebay a successful sale of an item will often prod other owners of the same item to list theirs shortly after the first sale. Ironically the sellers see the first sale, which usually has a high closing price, and figure that they too can obtain that closing price. However, Mr. Deep Pockets already has his and isn't bidding on the subsequently listed items and they often sell for significantly less than what Mr. Deep Pockets paid in the original sale. Its supply and demand in action in a microcosm. A sudden increase in supply pushes the price down as the first "desperate" buyer is now out of the market. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/> Legalize Adulthood! <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com>
