    Default what are you smoking?

    witness the evidence:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Ride-Carniva...QQcmdZViewItem

    &

    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance

    and my question to the seller:

    what are you smoking? this item is only $24.48 shipped on Amazon.com, which means that anyone could get two copies of this game for what you're asking for one copy... and you'll be losing all your profits to ebay relisting fees, unless someone smoking whatever you're smoking is actually high enough to pay you double for it!

    Well, it is a store item and could very well be an auto relist auction that they have not updated in a while. They have 23,000 items listed in auction and store format so I could see them falling behind on updating some listings.

    Also, most sellers pay attention to current ebay competition not what online retailers have items listed it.

    If most buyers were smart about ebay purchases, I never would have paid off a majority of my college loans by posting garbage over the years. You can find a thousand examples of sellers selling something common/inexpensive elsewhere for a truckload in their Ebay Store. That doesn't mean it won't sell, however.

    I would have trouble keeping up with 23,000 auctions!
