Just because one person is desperate doesnt mean everyone else in the world is.

It's really hard to judge, but I guess you have to set some standards when determining market price.
For instance, I almost always buy stuff on direct BO. If the BO is too high, I don't buy it.
Now this is tricky to judge - if the BO was way below market price, it really doesn't give any indication as to how much I was really
willing to pay. If it's above, it
might be, but not really - I could still have been willing to pay more.
As I'm writing this, I have come to see why BO's should not be included in market price estimations, and what a bad buyer I am
