(...) Well, the market does determines prices. If I want to buy item X, which was 120.00 originally, and I had to bid 300.00 to get item x, I will. Most of the LEGO sets I have seen fluctuate, depending on a number of factors. I made some money on a (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

This is one where a followup or response saying "list is 129.99" may be warranted. 99 is an OK price for a set that lists for 129.99, IMHO.

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.
