People on ebay expecting too much?

[tvcollector]

I see alot of stuff on eBay fairly cheap and have bought a few sets on there for around $75 to $200 plus I paid for the shipping on a few roundie consoles... For the most part sets on there I see around that mark.. Though there are a few loonies on there that think sets are worth in the higher hundreds or in the thousands..

Suppose it's possible that a few resellers pay too much for their inventory, and so they hold out. Maybe it's harder to research the going rate of vintage TV's than we realize. Who know what they're thinking, mostly wishful, I suspect

I think part of the problem is what we would consider to be very collectable doesn't have that same value to the general public. I think some older people hung on to sets because they had sentimental value.
