I concentrate on the spread between the price I paid and what an item sold for. Today's top price will not be tomorrow's top price which will not be the next day's top price, etc. Prices change constantly and the best you can hope is that you get a good profit when you sell. In other words, if you sell an item for $100 don't be upset if an identical item sells the next day for $110. It's quite possible that the day after another example will sell for $90. If you made your profit that's all that should count. Good luck to you.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
