Not the right thread, but this gone cheap. US sellers do not learn that they could win more money if they shipped to Europe...

"Rare 3 finger" Syncros crank. As if loosing the other two spider arms makes this crank more valuable.....

US sellers do not learn

It's not always that they don't know but sometimes they don't care. My dad is often of those people. He wants to get rid of it and if he can make a little money, great. If it's 10 minutes extra hassle, he really can't be bothered. We had a stove that could have sold for $200, but would have had to make some effort to do so. Someone who happened to have a pickup truck on the spot offered him a $75. Cash in hand: check. Stove gone in 1 minute: check. They load stove: check. Done. It's been that way for many a thing but it was also done quickly.

There are also some other people, experienced ebayers, who won't ship some items overseas. They've had customs problems, loss/damage problems that insurance didn't cover. Why bother?

Now that said about my dad, in one of his 'get rid of it' snits wanted to be off with an old dresser and bring it to the dump. My mom and I wanted to bring it to the flea market and sell on consignment. "That old piece of junk, toss it!" My mom and I loaded it on the truck (without his help, naturally) and told him to mind his own business. I arrived at the market and before I could even get it off the truck, it sold for a couple hundred dollars. We never let him forget about that one.
