I've sold a number of items on eBay over the years. In some instances my items sold for considerably more than I'd paid for them originally. The eBay market is a contract between the Seller and the Buyer, if the Buyer wants something enough to pay for it, whatever the price, whose problem is that?
I also have a Brook B.17 saddle that I purchased originally from Rivendell back in 1997 or so. It looks very similar to the one the Seller has available presently (mine is marked "6D9"). Since I'm not using this saddle I've definitely marked this Seller's item on my watch list. I'd have absolutely no qualms selling my saddle for more than what I paid! In addition, I've frequently seen posts on this forum and other related forums (Internet-BOB) where someone nailed a very nice bike at a yard sale for next to nothing. The poster frequently brags about their buy and how they negotiated with the seller to obtain a lower price. Is this fair? By the way, I don't buy anything on eBay that I can get for less money from another source.
