No, I don't sell them for higher than the face value, that is the definition
of a scalper. I actually sell them for less than retail on ebay, so how
does that fit into your definition of scum. If you have been following the
shopping newsgroup you will see that these sets were not on clearance in
other areas of the country. I was lucky enough to have them on clearance
here. I bought them and I sell on ebay, most of the time below $89.99 that
your retail store will charge. If however you still wish to pay full retail
then be my guest and go to TRU where there are plenty for you to buy at the
retail price of $89.99. I know personally that I made several parents happy
that they could get the set for their children for Christmas and they didn't
have to pay the full retail price, even when S&H is included. How do you
explain that?
