About 15 years ago I almost scored a 78 Corvette for $100 because of an angry ex-wife. I missed it by a mere few seconds.

Well, if it's a P.O.'ed wife, she has an understanding of Ricks, at least well enough to write a decent description. Something is awfully wrong. First time I think I've ever seen an item cost about 5x more to ship, than it did to buy.

funny how the used women's clogs the seller also has listed are 5-1/2 times more expensive than the Ric...

I think it is a case of a decimal point in the wrong place.

That's not too far fetched in this house. While my wife may not enjoy my vices the same as I do, she certainly knows enough about them from my blathering and drooling to come up with a good E-bay description should I ever find myself on the wrong side of her wrath.

Ad on Ebay - $2.25
Extra photos for the ad - $0.75
Packing materials for shipping - $5.00
Fee for the BIN feature - $1.50
Putting the decimal point in the wrong place - Priceless!
I'll betcha it gets relisted with the correct price.

Ouch, double ouch. What's wrong with Jetglo by the way.
All of my Ricks except one are JG. Should I sell them all and buy something less common?

Nah, just refin them yourself using house paint and glitter. be sure to paint over the original finish. that way the resale stays up.

Would Robin's Egg Blue in an eggshell finish be a better seller then?
