Weeks Later Creedence Gold Quad 8 Track Tape Sells for Fraction of Last Week's Price

It's at the same time a blessing and a curse about eBay, one week a rare item will sell for X dollars and the next week four of the same items will be listed and sell for 1/10th the price. This happens quite often on eBay, someone gets a big price and all of a sudden the same identical rare item comes out of the woodwork in numerous places. The subsequent listings leave the original buyer with remorse and the new sellers with disappointment.

A quadraphonic copy of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Creedence Gold recently "sold" on eBay for a whopping $1484, despite it regularly selling for between $100-300. So what happens, a bunch of sellers list their tapes for sale too, and now the price drops to a reasonable $395, then to a silly-cheap $270 for a sealed copy. The same thing happened a few months ago with a sealed Michael Jackson, Thriller album that sold for over $500. Now sellers are still listing the same tape for hundreds of dollars, but not getting any takers.
