It's a C-O-N-spiracy just to piss you off dude. But yes, some poeple are happy saving 2% or $10 off retail.

I remember when EBay was actually a place that people unloaded their stuff for pennies on the dollar and now it's becoming just an online market place for business and entrepreneurs that are selling goods for a profit..... ghey

Went to a music store auction once...watched people pay 30-50% above market value for stuff....bought 4k of gear at about 10% of cost....and made a killing. People are stupid.

No everyone at these auctions is stupid. Remember, the seller is making a killing.

Back when I was buying a lot of cigars via online auctions, I was always baffled by people bidding significantly more than they could just buy exactly the same item from the same company. If it was only a couple dollars more, I could see it making sense if they had already won other auctions and thus were combining shipping, but I saw people paying WAY more.

i have fallen prey to the cigar auction but i always make sure it is about half retail. doesn't mean i don't go overboard and buy way to much though. haha so according to my wife i am stupid.

so true. Auctions any more leave much to be desired IMO.

I often have wondered why people do this to.
