This discussion is the essence of what makes EBAY work. If there was no element of chance EBAY would be reduced to a fixed price market place like is found everywhere else on the net. Internet or live an auction has an elemnt of risk and oportunity which is attractive or scary, depending on your peerspective.

I admit that I am not your target market, since the only vintage Campagnolo I have ever owned came on a barn find I parted out last year... but as much as I hate to admit it, since I am turned off by the used car salesman type of hype from the other listing you referenced, they do seem to bring in higher bids.
Think marketing! What is the old saying? I think it is: You don't sell the steak, sell the sizzle! |

Personally, I'm just scared of the inherent shiftiness of Canadians. Up there, with all that bacon and beavers and such. Just waiting...waiting...
