I agree with you. Its not the rational approach. But there are people who pay lots of money for anything with Parker on it. For example, these nickel plated square oil bottles with Parker Bros stamped on them that were made in England in the 1980's. They were $40 then. Now you try to find one and I've seen them sell for $100. A person can find another one without Parker on them and pay, what, $60?

And maybe this ebay bidder is not real......I understand some of these sellers submit fake bids to drive prices up then they offer another one and it gets snapped up. I don't know what motivates some of these buyers, maybe he just wants it.

Destry, I'm not saying you are wrong and I'm not trying to start any controversy. Some of these Parker things, well I just shake my head and don't know what they are thinking.
