Man, those six-shooters in the black and white westerns sure do hold a lot of bullets.

Not sure if paying eBay prices is reasonable or stupid. Some items seem unreasonably marked up due to the believe of the seller that this is a rare or special item.

I am fine with that, but after 6-12months when no one has purchased that item, the seller should figure out this is probably not the market price. I expect that a seller would rather exchange it for money instead of clinging on to it forever on a set price point.

Message the seller with an offer! My wife and I have scored some amazing deals by sending an offer to a seller that’s had something sitting around for a while.

I don't remember that exact numbers, but I tried that trick with a guy that was selling a new DVD copy of a forgotten movie from over a decade ago (but out of print), I think he was asking like $15 and I gave it a shot for $10 or $5 and he sent the decline instantly. I kind of learned not to use that trick again :lol: . Sure it was cheap at asking price but in reality who would pay $15 for a dvd copy of an unknown movie, it was $3-5 bin material a decade. There was probably shipping price over that.

is there a way I can tell how long the item have been listed? I don't think eBay gives out that information.
