The great thing about eBay is that it really does allow the market to set the price for things, ie let the demand set the price. I've purchased every club except my putter off eBay, and I think it's a great way to get good equipment at a good price.

But I've noticed, there are always some clowns out there who overcharge to death for their stuff. I'm looking at MP-37's right now, and the going rate seems to be between 300-350. Fair enough. Sometimes you can get them a bit cheaper, but that's about what a new set will run you on eBay.

Then you've always got 3 or 4 listings in the group with a starting price of $475 or $550, some nonsense like that. Don't they look at the listings? When you see everything going for $300, why list your stuff at 50-75% over that? You see all these clubs go with not a single bid. It costs the seller to post them.

I just don't get it. Why do people do that?
