Answer:
Wow! It's a beautiful piece, but I can't believe anyone would bid that much. If so, we would all get to x-stithin' http://community.here.com/infopop/em.../icon_wink.gif
Must have a lot of hours in it. It's one to watch allright.

OH! I didn't even think of that - the listing fee. http://community.here.com/infopop/em...s/icon_eek.gif

Answer:
I believe the listing fees max out in the $3 range so it didn't cost her that much to list - it would be the FVF's where eBay would make the moolah - should it actually get a bid and sell which I think is highly doubtful - she'd have had better luck if she had made up a story about how it once shed tears of blood or that an apparation of Jesus appears near it every Easter or that a boy dying of leukemia looked at it and was cured or some such tripe - sorry, but didja ever notice how those items get bids and lots of them? I often wonder if the sellers get paid... or if they get bid up by people thinking that since the item description was written by a looney what harm is there in bidding?
This lady is absolutely dead serious...and I do commend her for taking the high road on the item description, but I think she has greatly over-estimated the value of the piece. To her, it is priceless, but to eBayer's it has a value and the value isn't $10 grand. If it was, it would have a bid by now - there's been more than 2000 lookers!
