People can ask for any amount they want on their auctions, but nobody
is forced to bid at such a ridiculous price.

The game you refer to could easily attract bids up to $15-$20.  I think in order
for it to sell in the $1200 range, the game pieces would have to be made of 10k
gold.  Maybe they are and the seller forgot to mention that...???
