[QUOTE="Cronker, post: 383864, member: 7711"]Of course, the old chestnut “it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay” applies. Then, also, your OP situation shows that the person in the thrift shop didn’t know what they were looking at ($2), followed by yourself not knowing it’s value, followed by the website either lowballing you or likewise not knowing a true value and eventually someone taking the punt and scoring it for $330. Probably hoping to flip it at a profit. So, between the eyes of four different people, it’s gone from $2 - $330. It’s the very nature of the game, and for many of us, why we love the thrill.
