More Ebay Madness

[myers212]

Do these people not realize they are overpaying by hundreds of dollars? I was checking the completed auctions and someone payed $600 for the Craftsman 299pc socket set. Now there is another one for sale for $675 or best offer. Sears.com has this set for about $370 every month or so when they have the 20% off sales.

I could post all day long of completed auctions where people over payed, but over paying for Craftsman is just double stupid.

Um, he has a make offer on the site (and he is LOCAL for me). I have ONE spare dollar, if you want to add ONE to, we could make our offer, and I could pick it up.


Maybe then I could kick him in the jimmies and laugh.

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase often credited to P.T. Barnum (1810 – 1891), an American showman. It is generally taken to mean that there are (and always will be) a lot of gullible people in the world.

It's not just tools folks. I often see used guitars go for twice what they cost new.

My personal favorite is the Harbor Freight socket trays for 12 bucks each + 12 bucks shipping, when you can walk into the store and buy a set of 3 for 8 bucks.

EBay's new ads are right on the mark... "Shop Victoriously." Nowhere does it say "Shop Smartly" or "think twice before you get too competitive."

That competitive nature can cost... my wife and another mother bid up our son's Kindergarten class painting, part of a fund raiser, to $300.

Man, do not be mad! It's absolutely good to the economy.
