Perhaps they didn't know about Ultimarc?  Everyone can't be as smart as you...     ;)

I see this happen all the time on ebay.  People will pay more for items than they cost directly from their source with a full warranty.  Even if people have never heard of a product before, finding the manufacturer or actual retailer is just a google away.  *BUT*  I think there are a lot of people that use ebay that still are not real comfortable searching the web so they would never know what something is worth unless it is sold at Walmart.

I bought some DVDs brand new direct from the publisher. I made "back-up" copies of these DVDs and then sold the originals on eBay as second hand. I actually got more money than they cost new!  ;D

You can get even more money if you rob the elderly after they get their Social Security checks.

I find selling crack to be much more profitable. Helps keep my bitches in line too.

Wait a second... what were we talking about?


Edit: Oh yeah, eBay. I can't sell crack on eBay, but I find that it's easy to find what you're looking for on eBay (pretty much every product on the planet is listed on there somewhere) and then find somewhere on PriceWatch or PriceGrabber that has the same thing for a better price.

Edit: Pricegrabber is no good for crack though, you need to go directly to your local CrackMonkey.

very simple.
money order. I have been tempted at times. That was before I found a mom and pop store going out of buisness and bought the game pads for $3.00 each.
