"possibly"

It takes two to get that bid up to $100, though. Just a few days ago a "Sufferin B" went for $288, without that second place bidder the mug goes for around $150. Sure, one peson was willing to pay $288+, but only if someone else is there to bump it up. So you take your chances, $100 now...or maybe another bidder with eqaully big pockets come a callin'.

I make those decisons all the time when I sell mugs outside of Ebay..."hmm, could I get "$$$" more for this on Ebay?"

I recall a college student selling the three Crane mugs on Ebay, she found them at a local thrift shop. She ended the auction for this particular mug (headhunter) when someone offered her $200+.

Who knows, maybe the mug here was really dropped. Heck, I'd pay $10 for the pieces. The I'd rebuild him, I have the money, I have the technology!
