DYA -> eBay 8880 money-making scheme

I noticed today that people are paying around $150 - $200 for new 8880 (and
5571) sets in eBay auctions when they could be buying them from DYA shopping
directly and saving (in some cases) a ridiculous amount of money. Is this
just because the eBay users are ill-informed, or do they gain some sort of
subtle benefit that is nearly impossible to comprehend?
If not, and in case there is anyone reading this post who is contemplating
bidding for an 8880 or 5571 on eBay (although here on LUGNET I guess that is
doubtful), DON'T DO IT!!! Buy from here instead:

I'm sorry, but I just can't stand by and watch people get ripped off blind,
it offends my sensibilities.
Hmmmm, hopefully I haven't just helped sabotage one of LUGNET's sources of
revenue..... :-\

I may be uninformed here ... but I thought I read somewhere that the DYA thing for 8880's was over, since they ran out. Is this still the case? or could I still send in an order? -Lee. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
