eBay sellers: anything you sold that totally out of your expectation?

I sold a SLR film camera a few days ago. I did my research and ebay average price was about $40-$50
expected: $40-$50
winning bid: $102.5 + $15 shipping

yeah, people like to go all out when all they had to do was wait a day.

It's all about nostalgia.

I sold a used floppy drive that ate my disks sometimes. I sold it as is. It was kinda unique in that it didn't have a spring loaded eject system, it had some electrical way to eject, like a cd drive does. I expected to get about $3 for it and I got $25.

Back in February 2003, just as Evanescence was still unknown, I purchased 4 tickets to see a small show at a bar in Nashville (I live in Tupelo, MS...about 3-4 hours south of Nashville). The 4 tickets cost me a total of $28..including fees.

We made the trip to Nashville, and Amy Lee got sick a few hours before the show. It got cancelled, but we found out only once we got there.

The show was rescheduled for the end of April, but they were big this time because of the success of their single, "Bring Me to Life". I really didn't feel like making the trip again, so I sold the tickets on Ebay.

In the end, I got a total of $280 off Ebay for the tickets I paid $28 for.
