a great place to get rid of your unused/junk stuff for $ :D
because some people will buy just about anything even if you don't think its going to sell!
like some will even pay more for what you can get new :) this is what makes me laugh the most.

Yeah, well your 3rd point is what's unfun on ebay... When you're trying to purchase something and save a few bucks and some morons keep outbidding you and eventually pay more than retail...
Then, you've still gotta buy it retail, but you wasted a day or two waiting to see if you'd win the auction.

Not all of the ps2 box sellers were asses. Some were VERY VERY VERY clear of what they were, and yet people bid like absolute idiots.

Yeah I wasn't sure how to interpret that. :)

I guess if they're clear about it you can't protect people from their own stupidity, but when they start listing the specs and stuff hoping people will skim past the part where it says "box," it's pretty obvious they're trying to rip someone off.

I'd seen a lot of people who were called 'scammers' when they sold a burned CD detailing how to purchase laptops cheap for $5. The buyers kept giving the guy negative feedback, but it was pretty clear in the ad it was CD about laptops. It had a picture of a laptop however. But if they honestly thought they were going to get a laptop shipped to them for $6, and never once looked at the auction before even paying...I mean come on. If people are so stupid they just see a picture and bid without reading anything else, they get what they deserve.

is it true that you can live off selling junk off ebay if you put enough times into it?
