Slippery sellers - Collecting Tiki

It sickens me that so many would try to profit from the space shuttle tragedy. There are over 1200 ebay listings for mission memorabilia! (Ebay search STS-107) And its not just the fact that these sleazy ebay dealers are listing a $5 patch for over $100 that upsets me, but that people are actually bidding on this stuff! Thankfully, there are many who have countered this by creating listings telling ebay shoppers where they buy this stuff, at their regular price, directly from NASA, or even get it for free. If you really need a rememberance of this tragedy, don't feed the ebay machine. At least show your support by buying directly from NASA. On a lighter note, none of those listings contain the words Eames, Tiki, or Shag.
