The "model" (whatever it is) might be correct for market situations where
the buyer and seller can negotiate a price, but I doubt that it was designed
to cover situations like auctions, especially eBay auctions.
My last $0.02 on this subject.

The science, and the model, is correct.

Well, the "model" in question is really the whole study of economics. It
can be argued that it is more art than science, but either way, eBay
prices do not reflect actual value.
My last $0.10 (in eBay dollars, worth $o.02 normally) on the subject.
