I love the site i get so much stuff cheap on there but yes at times you have to fight for it i usually send someone to look over stuff before i get into a bidding war, with the web it makes it so easy to find someone pay them $20 to snap a few dozen pics on there phone or Skype it if i can and presto bobs you bi#@h not uncle lol this is why a lot of things go higher because people do as i do and find the value in things. for example recently i acquired a pallet of laptops 280 total that were better than listed because no one bothered looking to see what ram and processor they had and yes batteries were gone and hard drives but with the i3 2nd gens and 4gb ddr3 in 238 of them and being asus minimally loaded vs. the dual core and 1gb they listed them as even after pointing it out there and online to change them so i would not get banned or anything like that.
it was worth paying $40each for
