That is actually INSANE!!!!!!!!!!
I've been very good lately and have laid right off Ebay. I feel sane again.

Oh, it is indeed insanity! I don't know what's going on with ebay lately. I haven't found anything in my price range since early last fall.
It seems to be wildly erratic in the 20s category. I went through a week or two earlier in the year when I thought I'd never get a bargain again, and decided that the stock must finally be coming to an end and there were fewer and fewer attics to be raided. Then it swung around again, and I'm picking up some lovely dresses for less than $50. I'm also seeing some very nice dresses going for less than I believe they're worth, or passing in without a single bid at the starting price or not reaching the reserve. On the flip side, I missed out on a pretty gold lace dress that I bid what I thought was an extravagent amount for and far more than it was worth (but it happened to be exactly what I wanted). I was a bit surprised when I was outbid - evidently someone with deeper pockets than me decided it was precisely what they wanted as well, and between us we pushed it to a ridiculous amount. I wasn't entirely sorry to miss out on it in the end as a result.

$330!!!!!!!!! or £167.00 !!!!!!
It was too big for me anyway, but even if it were the right size I would never risk that kind of money I mean what if it didn't fit!!!!!
That said I sincerely hope that one of the Lounge Ladies has snapped this one!!

Seriously, I have a flocked blue and black apron identical to that dress. I collect fancy hostess aprons. That one is my very favorite. Noone shall ever get it.

I missed these Remix wedges that only went for $2.99. I wrote the seller, but she never bothered to write me back with any information about size or a length measurement - she hadn't provided any of that information in the listing.

Also missed this great swimsuit. It's my size but went for $86
If those are the ones I'm thinking of, I asked right after they were listed and she said size 38. I think that's a 6 or 6 1/2. She probably got tired of the questions and didn't bother to edit her listing or just make one of the questions visible.KittyT said:I missed these Remix wedges that only went for $2.99.
