I look at it a little differently. If a desirable item is properly described and categorized, buyers will find it and bid it up to an appropriate price. When I see something that starts at or around what it should ultimately sell for, I generally pass on it - not worth the effort since it will probably sell at too high a price for me. If something is priced "too low", it will generate a lot of eyeballs and bids - I bet that it the 99 cent strategy works more often than not.
