eBay stopped being a source to find a good deal about 2-3 years ago when the yuppy era and retiree folks discovered it and decided they didn't want to work a real job. ...lazy @ss mofo's!

So now... eBay is loaded with people trying to make a living instead of recouping some of their money invested when trying to unload an item. Proof is in the shipping costs from those "deals".

The place is also loaded with super dumb@ss people with lots of money too. I regularly see H&R/NEF rifle barrels selling for $120-$250(2x-4x the cost at the manufacturer).

Most of the people on eBay should be buying/selling shares on the stockmarket instead of buying items for a quick turn-around.
