If you're not willing to sell at the price that the lot ends up at, set your starting bid high enough, or have a reserve in place that's high enough, that you take what you get and are happy. I see a 4559 going for 175 right now. I only got 150 for (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
