I periodically notice currently available LEGO sets on eBay for prices • above
suggested retail.  I assume these items sell to individuals that are not
familiar with LEGO Shop-At-Home or www.lego.com.  For example, today I
noticed one of LEGO's new sets (Super Chief) that is currently selling for
$40 (actually $39.95) with an opening bid of $55.  I suspect a few people

This is a perennial problem, unfortunately. I wrote the Buying Lego FAQ
http://www.lionsgatemodels.com/FAQs.htm (which needs updating, but still
contains much useful info) as something I and others could link to from
auctions and sale pages to educate consumers about places like S@H. I think
eBay's recent rule changes have made even this illegal to link to from an
item page, but you can probably still link to it from your eBay AboutMe
