I have an auction posted up with the retail PRICE LISTED and now the bidding with shipping is HIGHER than the retail price! :Q WTF? I mean, if I tell them that they can get it for certain price elsewhere, why do they want to pay more to get it? :confused:

And because I know some of you will ask what's up with the monitor, it's still being worked on :( Eventually, I will get it and I'll inform all of you when I do :)

:) I just sit back and enjoy the few extra bucks I get by selling stuff on Ebay...If I feel really bad about it, I'll use the extra money to buy my little brother a present or something. Then, all is well

<< yes. >>


I say, Take advantage of this fact. I've seen an auction once for a MS Explorer mouse that clearly stated it was BROKEN and it still got several bids going. Amazing. :confused:

Quite simply, yes.

We need to bring back the good old days of wacky ebay auctions... remember the kid who tried to auction off his virginity?

Bingo

I sell stuff on eBay all the time. The money is really good. I only buy off there if it's something I can't find anywhere else.
Couple examples:
Bought a guitar pedal for $40, used it for a year and sold it for $70
Bought $200 worth of games in Japan, played em for a year, sold em for $1000.
Just sold a set of DVDs for a higher price than amazon.com

A fool is born every day. Let the ignorance of some translate into profits for others. Profits, oh sweet profits.

yes people are really that dumb. I remember when the matrix first came out on DVD, people were buying it there, for over 10 dollars what yuo could get at any other online store. Goofy people i tell ya, but use it your advantage..
