I don't understand either. I think they get their prices off what they think sold on Ebay a couple years ago. Reality seems to be they are only worth what someone will actually pay. That doesn't seem to be very much around here these days. Some days I find them so cheap makes me hurt to think about it. If they don't sell are they ending up in the land fill? I've rescued several from the trash lately.
