I often hunt for used and new tools at ebay ( carbide endmills, Inspection gauges, tool holders...specially vintage and hard to find ) and from time to time I get to win at auctions. Recently I have won a slightly used Interapid Dial indicator for only $75 shipped. I was so happy because a new unit would usually cost US$250.
But sometimes I have noticed that there are lots of bidders who would bid and not think what the actual market value of the item they are bidding. Very often they would end up paying more. Recently, there was one auction for a used kurt vise that was sold for US$375 + $65shipping. I find it hilarious because you could buy a brand new unit of the same kind from ENCO for US$409 shipped.
So guys if you will be bidding stuffs at ebay. I would highly recommend that you do some research first and then decide on your maximum bid.
Also, when placing a bid do it on the last 30 to 45 sec. before closing and your chances of winning are much higher..... Cheers
