Exactly, Jeff. And Michael, I definitely think the premise is fine,
but the inverse is true as well, has it gone for less anywhere
recently? The bottom line; the WITNESS insert that sold last week
was worth $150 to SOMEONE. Unfortunately that may be the only person
that it's worth that much to, or it may actually be worth more.
We're all looking for some justification, some pattern, some history
or some reason to support our bids on an items. But I am always
suspect of Sellers who get too excited about their items so I usually
do my own due diligence by checking Bruce's past auction outcomes and
Heritage's archives AND I usually look at similar completed items on
Ebay to see if any other items have sold (or not) before I bid on
anything.

your ad asks: is this title worth 150??? it sure is!!!!!!!
the truth is, it may or may not be. just because it sold for that
price last week, doesn't mean it is worth that. last week's bidding
got it that high. in the reverse, you may get 75.00 for it. that is
the gamble with ebay. i would bet that many potential bidders do an
advanced search on completed items to see what the range of an item
up for auction is,and what it sold for in the past.
