I'm going to purposefully run up the price of an item on ebay for multiple listings so I can get what I feel is fair for my laptop.
Why would you try to run up the price?
I've been trying to sell my laptop for a while with no success.
It seems like that won't get you anywhere if people won't buy it at the high price. You should not run up the prices on your own auction, it seems a bit immoral. You are taking advantage of people that way.
Doesn't matter. I'll just keep doing it.
Then you won't be able to sell your laptop. You are only wasting your own time.
