Whats with EBay Buyers?

Question

I mean there are items people are bidding on that outsell their original new values. Do People not realise they are only fleecing themselves?

Surely the E bay concept is to be able to purchase a bargain, but with people out there with more cash than sense it is becoming cheaper to just go out and buy something new.

Answer 1

Depends on demand.  After the Wii was released, it was more than a full year before I ever saw one in a store.  If the store sells them for $300 but never has any in stock, then of course I have to pay $350 on eBay if I really want one.

Answer 2

Gives reason for the sellers to hope. Just makes you realize there is a lot of money out there...with fools attached.
