THIS is the most irritating thing!!! It applies to any kind of collectible or antique/vintage item too - people see somebody asking an arm and a leg for something but don't realize, you can ask whatever you want on Ebay, it doesn't mean people will pay it. You have to go to completed listings and even then take it with a grain of salt. People still overpay and because ONE sold for some incredibly crazy high price it doesn't mean yours will. UGH UGH UGH!!!
