millervt is an unknown quantity
Its a classic pattern at ebay. Seller buys a bunch of discontinued software for a buck or two, offers it for around $10, sees who will go for it, then it appears in a few weeks a couple of bucks lower. Most software of this type eventually ends up at $5 (plus the "usual" $5 shipping cost where he makes a buck or two more). It didn't appear to be getting too many bids, so I'm betting it will be lower soon.

By the way, since you are new to ebay, be aware that about half (or more) of the bids on an item come in at the last minute, so don't be disappointed if you are winning at $2.50 with 5 minutes to go and end up losing at the last second. Just bid how much you want and if you win, great, if not, rarely does an item not appear in a week or two again...
