That's disappointing, chameleon.
Bang goes my theory then.
Ebay can be a funny place though. I have sometimes seen interesting items go without any bids at all over a couple of relistings, then the next time around, there will be a bidding war break out & I think-hey, they're paying $200 more than they could have had it for last week!
And when my sister & I used to sell, we sometimes had items that were the same or better than others that had sold at top prices just weeks earlier & then ours would only go for about half that.
