I'm also in the turquoise-star range, with 369 (also 100% positive).

Don't get too pumped by the very flattering comments people post in
feedback: look up their "feedback-left" and you'll find they say the exact
same thing to everyone, plus or minus some reference to fast payment or
quality packaging.

Ebay has become more and more of a buyer's market over time, as it has
become flooded with the flotsam and jetsam (merchandise and junk) of the
entire world.

Most of what I have bought on Ebay (or from sellers I got to know through
Ebay) are books, especially, old state legislative manuals and Who's-Who
style biographical compilations with data for The Political Graveyard.  I
bid early and low, never get into bidding wars, and win auctions about
two-thirds of the time.

I even have an About-Me page: http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/potifos/
