Trick question indeed, coming from one who introduced the term is an earlier exposition on the subject If an item trades frequently enough on ebay, ebay itself will note what the item usually sells for. Think of used calculators still in use in schools. Beyond that, it's really the judgement of the individual who has spent years searching for particular items. Each person's judgement will differ, but they'll probably fall within a rough bell curve around a "market value" median.

On the subject of buyer behavior I've noticed many buy it now postings also accept best offers. I've used that a few times to mixed success. I've thought about making a private offer to a seller with a ridiculously high price and no make offer option. Anyone have success with that approach? I'm not sure such an agreed upon sale would show up in a list of past sales. That could affect your judgement of what a fair price is.

BTW, the winner of an auction is always the loser, because the winner paid more than what any other bidder thought an item was worth
