Hi,

Just looked at eBay and there is at least 62 Star Wars kit in auction at
eBay.

My guess would be that, based on the scarcity of these sets in the stores, and
back orders at S@H, these sellers may not even have them in hand yet to reship
to the high bidder, unless these scalpers were some of the first to reserve at
S@H. It has been my experience that it can sometimes be as long as 4 weeks
from the time you list an item on eBay before you have to mail it out:
1 week for the auction,
a few days to send email back & forth,
another week for the check to arrive,
another 7 to 10 days to wait for the check to clear.

Just a thought.

(...) What actually happens is that the scalper saves his receipt and if he can't sell for a profit, they will just return the item to the original store (from my experience of the rec.toys.scalper - i mean .misc group). (26 years ago, 10-Mar-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)
