someone bought a used API 3124+ from Sonic Circus on eBay for more than it would cost to buy it new from the Sonic Circus website!!

How does this happen?

have you ever watched one of those trashy dating shows where there are two girls trying to win another date with one guy? the guy is irrelevant, he could be be a hiddeous asshole (and usually is), the girls are more concerned with beating each other than what they're actually trying to win. auctions do the same thing to people. or maybe they just have no idea what stuff is worth.
