Yup, this isn't the first time something was bid on and paid for over the normal retail price.
For eg: We were having a gift exchange at work so I went out and bought one of those cheapy hobby tool kits at CTC. Normally it sold for $29.00 and was on sale for 10 bucks. Before buying anything I always check ebay and see if it is cheaper there.
Well there was one or two online and they were going to 12 bucks. Ok, so the high bidder (Canadian) maybe didn't have a CTC nearby. It was on my watch list and I saw it going to $32.00 plus taxes and shipping!
I wrote to the guy and said Dude, do you realize that the same item is on sale this week at CTC for 10 bucks? So he replies: Ok, how do I cancel a bid? LOL DOH.
Another time a guy was bidding on a panasonic plasma screen DAMAGED and it said in the ad, the glass was fine but the plasma screen behind the glass was cracked....For a while it was going for $200.00 then close to closing it shot up to 800....I wrote the high bidder and told him: Dude, I tried to get one of these fixed and even though you could buy the whole TV for 5000.00, panasonic wanted 7000.00 to replace the screen PLUS labour!
He wrote back saying too late he had already won the item and asked if I knew of anywhere else that would fix them LOL.
I wrote back and said: Dude, the screens are proprietary, you have to go to Panasonic to get one....Hope you enjoy your $800.00 paperweight! DOH
Some people's kids.......Just LOOK what happens when cousins MATE
