It's still possible to score a bargain on eBay if a seller neglects to do any research and puts up a low Buy It Now.

Same goes for Craigslist, except with no "contract" the seller may be more likely to back out of his stated price when the vultures start offering more. Protip: pretend to have the same first name as the seller, the affinity may help them keep their word! (Only sort of kidding, it seemed to help when I really did buy my DESW from another Dan for $500!)

Or you could go the EM route and get as many as a half dozen pins for that $1500!
