You do the maths.

But if you want to make your $300.- guitar original again $340.- extra is about what you need PLUS a lot of patience, because we don't want to pay the maximum price, do we? But there seems to be some competition for this guitar. But now a take a closer look at the bid history, I think bidder w***l is probably a shill bidder. If I were c***o, I would retract that $655 bid and let him have it.
