An observation I made

[nboy22]

Why are there people buying Ipods from ebay for like 60 bucks or more over the Retail price in Apple's own ONLINE STORE?Rreally makes me wonder how stupid some people can be, or is there some other reason why people seem to spend extra money? lack of knowledge? (This is just about every auction I look at in the category of Video and Nano, not sure about the others.)

Who knows.. when they used to do that with palms, I made a killing.

Lack of research + people thinking they are getting a deal

DING DING DING DING.... We have a WINNAR!

The intellegence of the average buyer on ebay is somewhat lacking in my opinion. Time has shown again and again that despite popular belief ebay is a sellers market, not a buyers market. But so long as people keep thinking they're getting a deal they won't stop paying more than retail...

It's pretty funny because if I'm even remotely interested in a product, I will not rest until I am sure I have found close the the best price.
