You guys keep running this up early in the game, might be cheaper to buy a new one. :)

Why would you pay 75 percent of cost on a used item with no warrenty then pay shipping cost on top of that. Is the $449.00 list price ?

betitbig 02-09-2007 07:16 PM

Here are the reasons I came up with...

1. It's the thrill of "winning" the auction.
2. People like the instant gratification of just clicking a button to purchase something.
3. Most people don't take into consideration the shiping costs.
4. In most cases no sales tax.
5. It is sometimes easier to buy something on ebay if your already a seller and have money in your paypal account.
6. For me my paypal money (for items I sold) is like my little slush fund and like free money it's not as hard to spend as earned money.

And the most important reason is....
7. People are lazy and if they can push a button and have something show up at their door their going to do it.

Just my .02...

I posted a link to this site a few weeks back and it got pulled. I thought I broke some unwritten rule or some thing..... I dont work own or know this company. Never used the tool or know any one who has. I was just was posting something I found from another site that I thought some one here could use.

When I posted this there were no bids and a "Buy it Now" of $300.00. I thought someone should/would grab it. They don't come up on ebay that often and the ones I have seen have sold for very close to retail.

funny how true that is.

I have a friend that used to go to a local sporting goods store and buy an item (product description withheld for obvious reasons) for under $10, then sell them on ebay for close to $80. Now he just orders them direct, has them each shipped to his house in a nice shipping tube and resales them on ebay and just puts a new shipping label on the tube for an even larger profit with no leg work at all. The $$ he makes is unreal on these everyday cheap bats.

He must have revised and removed that feature before I read your post 3 hrs later, otherwise US1 would been a happy camper.:drink:

Ha,well at first I didn't know what that 83% thing
meant. I don't use e-bay much (only 4 times).
Apparently The douch that sold my 11 year old
kid some kind of nintendo gun with half the pieces
missing gave me a bad rap saying I paid slow( 5 days)
after I gave him a bad review.This dude has 56 negative
feedbacks in the last 12 months. So be it. I buy
off of real dealers 99% of the time.
As far as the scanner goes, I figured if I could
save a 100 bucks...why not? I've already been outbid
so I'm done. Kind of reminds of the state auctions.
People would bid a grand over full retail for an 100,000
mile police car with vinyl floors , holes in the dash and
needing a full paint job, Go figure.
