I don't think I've spent that much on used/NOS Craftsman tools in 10 years...

Over on the arborist site, a fellow who is supposedly a regular ebay vendor was alluding to a strategy of making a steep price change when an item is temporarily out of stock as a way to trick the ebay listing algorithms into holding your place in the listing priority list.

Basically, temporarily placing an extremely high price on an item insures that nobody will order an item you can't supply until your stock is replenished and still keeps you in the first few pages of a keyword search. When the vendor gets new stock, he simply returns the price to normal.

Seems like a b.s. way to game the system to me.

That might be an Ebay store thing then. I sell on Ebay all the time (as I'm sure many do here) and I've never done that. If you make it too high, no one buys it. Now that Ebay has changed the rules with listing (you generally only get good deals with listing via e-mail), every auction is worthwhile to look at and list carefully.

Yes, the guy did have an ebay store.

He's selling counterfeit chainsaw Carburetors and kits.

What are the silver lever =V= long flex heads going for? I keep seeing a few in a pawnshop that aren't selling. Been there for months. Maybe I need to look into it. Lol
