As many of you know, ebay has gone crazy, people shelling out ungodly amounts for relatively cheap merchandise. Specifically the Playstation Final Fantasy games are selling for an exorbinant (spell???) amount, even for the GH games! I am testing this insanity with an auction. I am listing FFs 7, 8, and 9 in non-GH format, with Chronicles and Anthology (new) in GH format. The listing will be plain, with no indication of rarity or value. This lot, which cost me 40 dollars to compile, will have a starting bid at 200 USD and a BIN at 300 dollars. The results shall be as follows.
Item sells for less than BIN: Ebay is full of people with too much money who are too lazy to go to their local used games store to pick them up for cheap.
Item sells at BIN: People on ebay have lost site of value in order to obtain the item they want right away.
Item sells for more than BIN: The Apocalypse is upon us and the world shall soon end...to pay more than the BIN is a scary proposition indeed.
Item does not sell: My faith in humanity is restored. Perhaps the overzealous buyers are already satisfied, and the rest of us can live our lives in comfort with moderate prices on ebay.

Please, people of digitpress forums, do NOT bid on this auction! I dont want to cheat any of you out of your money, if the item does not sell and someone here wants the collection, I will sell it, but please do not get sucked into the auction.
Thanks
