I don't begrudge anyone making a buck, but it just seems to be against the spirit of what this place is about...which I suppose is why they do it there opposed to the classifieds here...

Thoughts?
To be more serious for a moment, Strictly speaking, as a business, selling on Ebay is done to reach the largest target audience. Selling in the classifieds here, means selling to those who are in the know. And simply put, these are NOT the people who are going to pay 400 bucks for a bug bitten reground W&B.
And quite frankly, when you have enough sellers setting the price, the people who are looking come to believe that price is the norm. So its simply a matter of time before it BECOMES the price.
That said, I have too much "nice guy" in me to do such things. Probably why I dont make much money in ANY of my business endeavors.
