I demonstrates the gullibility of sellers to ebay propaganda. It damages their auctions, in my opinion, and also they pay extra for it!
"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.

And it's XT, so it's even less desirable...

32 bids, at only $22.50, and reserve hasn't been met.

Auctions totally make sense if you really don't know what something is worth. Start it at the least that you would reasonably be satisfied with, and see where it goes.

If you know what something is worth, sell it at that price. Start high and drop if you need to.

Of course, I always think as a seller, even when I am buying. I just look for sellers' mistakes that might be to my advantage.

I can't imagine paying half the price of an AT for an XT, but it looks like people will do it.
