I love when sellers claim the upgrade prices on top of the original MSRP- for that to be realistic, you have to include the original parts too!
I can understand when some good ebay auction prices slip through- I don't bid on something until the last 15 minutes or so. Then sometimes I get distracted or forget. Oh well. I've had a few where I bought something after an auction ended by just messaging the seller.
I can understand high prices on CL too- whenever I put something up for sale, responses are almost always crazy lowballs- it doesn't matter if the asking price was fair or not (or even a little low), people just want to get a deal. I'm no exception TBH.

This is true too, I've tried to be a cheapskate about things, pinching pennies, and missed out, realizing afterward that I should have bought the thing when it was in front of me.
