    Sort of funny isn't it. Plus there is a $10 shipping. Now that's a rip-off!

    It's only madness if it sells. Only goes to proof that some PM sellers are dreamers when it comes to their BIN prices. Just like in coins or come to think of it, just about every product.

    "Serial Number Error" image

    I have a bar with "missing serial number," actually many of them. I'm gonna be rich!

    from only a fool. serial numbers are stamped separately and it depends which way the bar was facing when stamped. In an automated process, probably not that unusual.

    I recently got an email saying special offer 5000 free listings to selected sellers .

    I think ebay likes to tout the number of active listings when bragging on the company , free listings would be a big help with that. Theres no downside to choosing whatever price you want in that environment.

    Now sell through percentage maybe doesn't look so good but its not easy to find that stat for ebay as a whole. I do know that when they run these promotions my sell thru drops , I think its harder for people to see legitimate listings with all these fantasy priced items clogging the site.
