I think I remember cases like this, maybe even cases where people got
real mad about it, but S@H itself normally labels these items "not
available in stores" itself it its catalog - why shouldn't eBay
sellers be able to do the same?

Yes, it irks me when someone buys items for 2 bucks at S@H (regular
price) and hawks them as rare and gets $10 for them, mainly because of
a lack of info on the bidder's part, but using a phrase right out of
the S@H catalog seems not so evil to me...

(...) Larry I think you'll find that the vast majority of AW posters are primarily bidders - since most sellers know that ebaY is the only viable game in town, I say right on to the DOJ and check it out before it becomes impossible for small sellers (...)
