Why are people stupid? Ebay and Porsche Parts

I too am a highly trained sniper. I'd say 95% of my bids come within the final 90 seconds or buy it now.

^ $610 for a hard top is a very good deal indeed.
Which incidentally was the item I was bidding on that sparked this thread/exasperation. I think I paid about $600 for my cheapo Miata hard top. The Spec Miata racing guys started buying them all up tripling the price from a couple hundred.

I buy just about everything there FIRST before caving in and paying retail. I recently bought three 1000 Thread count sheet sets for $140 delivered.
Had to do a little behind the scenese negotiation with 4 different sellers.
Lots of deals to be had for 'non-listed' items.
