You all also realize it would be stupid on the seller's part, to put a lower buy it now price when there is also an option to bid. If someone wants it bad enough, they are going to make sure they bid higher than everyone else... It may go up to 12k just because some kid has his daddy's money and wants it. If he were to put it up for 8k as a buy it now price, then he would have lost 4k. No it's not worth 15k... But on ebay, you can almost get any price for anything if you make it sound good enough to the potential buyer...
