I would never pay up that amount on that crappy tv but then you know what: I either bid it to the maximum I want to pay for it, or I don't bid. Done. Point being in an auction environment you put something up and let the market decide its actual value at that moment. If the winning bidder isn't asking questions before bidding then shame on him (or her). We all live in the same universe ( and I personally have been outbid on hundreds of things just since January 1) simply because I know better. I take my shots and walk away no regrets, one way or another.
Now... Who really wanted this TV and was pissed off somebody with deeper pockets, or lower mental fortitude, outbid you?????

The idiots that buy (assuming they are not shills) get to live with being fleeced, but for the rest of us we get to put up with every idiot who has a dirt common low value set using ebay and more specifically this numb nuts (and his merry band of shills and idiots) as a price guide and thinking their beat up $10-60 set is worth ~$1000....He is silently robbing us all through market forces whether we realize it or not.
