Actually, I can kinda see it for a car, cuz you can likely fly out & inspect the good, but 30K for an original LeRoy Neiman, but the 60-70K for diamonds, blows me away!

The only thing I don't get are the sneakers, but then I just see those foo-foo sneaks as a perversion of street wear, like the Grunge inversion when these 'top' designers came up with plaid shirts for $500.

I get the purchases, I just don't get buying them on Ebay! I'd be nervous to spend $1000 there! Which is sad as a seller, but it's the truth.

I would be nervous spending over $100 on ebay. I don't shop on ebay so no surprise that I would be careful spending any amount of coin there.

That, too - though there are a lot more protections as a buyer than as a seller.

I'm not at all nervous about buying on eBay.

Selling on eBay is another story.

Wow, really? There are a lot of Ebay buyers being scammed too, I read their stories constantly.

I've bought a lot on eBay and only had one unresolved issue. That was many years ago, before there were buyer protections.

I totally agree.

Buying expensive items on eBay just requires researching the seller.  And the feedback system makes that fairly easy.

A seller who's accumulated thousands of positive feedback ratings over many years isn't going to risk all of that just to scam me on one transaction.


But.... when I'm ready to let go of one of those expensive items, I would be scared to death to sell it on eBay!
