Always check out the previous 'sold' prices for items as 'Buy it Now' (asking) prices very often don't mean a lot, they're often speculative prices in the hope that someone is daft enough or hungry enough to pay it. And don't ever consider yourself a bad guy for making a realistic offer for something, it's a valuable reality check to the seller. If enough people make realistic offers, then there's a chance that it may sway them to sell at a realistic price.
