Nice cheap shot.
As much as I don't like eBay or the scalping tactics of some of the
sellers on there (ok, a lot of the sellers on there) there are plenty
of decent people who use it to sell things simply because they want to
get the best price for their stuff.
Is that really any of your business? If not, what the hell difference
does it make to you?
I'm selling some stuff on eBay right now. Seriously considering
putting some more stuff up for sale there for one reason and one
reason alone - I'll probably make more money if I do because my items
will be exposed to about a thousand times more bidders than any
auction I run myself on Lugnet, RTL, SeriousCollector, or my own site.
Why should I settle for selling parts for a dime apiece in a
low-exposure auction if I have a chance of selling them for fifty
cents apiece on eBay? I don't know about you, but selling off the
parts I don't want is how I support my hobby, and if making more money
is possible on eBay, well, that just means I get to spend more on the
stuff I like.
And again, is that really any of your business?
