A few months ago, one of the TV news mags did a piece on some shoplifters that were selling their loot on ebay. One of the items they were selling was a digital camera. When the cops arrested them, they fouind the camera with the price tag still on it from the store they stole it from. As you might guess, the ebay bidders had bid the price of this camera far above what it could have been bought for in the store.

Hey PDC, I really hate reserve actions. I think it lets dealers just troll ebay for people who don’t know the real value of something. I’ve seen a lot of new solar equipment on sale at list price from dealers who are doing just that. I saw someone buy an inverter last week for $300 more than you can buy it brand new off the web right now. <getting off soapbox>
