This Shit Isn't Worth Anything

I know, 3 posts in one day...I am an endless well of opinions this morning. The life hostage is finally figuring out why I hate .99 auctions. It devalues your shit.

He's been selling books lately. Each time he looks one up, there is a hiss of breath escaping him as he sees that some other idiot has devalued his book by listing it for .99.

My own example. I have a nice piece of fabric that I just bought. I look it up.

Some pieces are hundreds, some like $65, $90. Respectable. Then there's the seller listing them for $25 each. Of course, when you click and read the description for these $25 pieces, you see why, but someone doing some surface grazing research (IE, just looking at end price), may think "this shit isn't worth anything" and list it for $25, therefore devaluing everyone else's, because who is going to pay $90 for your shit when someone else's identical shit is listed at $25?
