It's crazy Gabriel, isn't it?

In the past (several years ago) I sold two of these, for
$15 ea., posting them in sell-3d.  I got dozens of
requests each time, including some really upset people
("next time, let me know first, OK?")  Realizing how
much in demand this little gismo was, I had it in
my mind to auction the next one.

A month or so ago, I saw a Realist in ebay with one
of these levels attached to it.  I wanted the level
so I bid a little bit more than I usually do for a
run-of-the-mill Realist... When the camera arrived,
I took the level out and put it in ebay, thinking
that, in the best case, it will go for $50.  Little
did I know that the level only would sell for 50% more
than what I paid for the Realist AND the level! :)

The mysteries of ebay....

One could make a decent living buying things from ebay 
and selling them right back through ebay, if he/she 
only knew what to buy... :)
