Unbelievable...
whrere's the rip off? why would this be unbelievable?
If someone in Hawaii or say... Australia or Britain wants one of these and they have the expendable cash for it, why would they not go for it? Why would you dissuade both parties from the transaction?
If someone wants to shop mostly via ebay, many are painfully aware of the possibility that they may be paying for convenience, or the possibility of securing an item through the only avenue available to them, as opposed to hitting the streets and shopping around, spending time on the searching, time they may not have. Only to find all those hours wasted was for naught, as the thing is not at all avaliable anywhere in their town, or even country. And they may want it now. Do you propose to email the prospective buyer and say; "Hey; if ya wanna save sennyfie bux, fly down to my town cuz there is a store here that may or may not have these in stock on any given day."
For these buyers there are many that offer things on ebay, and i would venture to guess these sellers would not remain in business long by divulging their sources in their auction listing. What of the thrift shop buyer who picks up a tiki mug for a few bucks and ebays it for $20. ? Similar ROI ratio. this type of thing happens all the time and it's part and parcel of the free enterprise system at work in america.
