That is true. Someone sure gets these items cheaper than us.
Ever notice that when something goes on sale extremely cheap without any rebates at OfficeMax or a retail store, ebay gets loaded with those items?
Anyway, there is one such family I see at our local Omax (1 mile away) that buys out all the best memory deals and freebies Sunday morning when the store opens. I can beat them on non-rebate items with the sneak peaks on Saturday, but otherwise I have seen them now on many occasions 5 minutes after the store opens with all the best deals in their hands. That's when I first found out why at 12:30 after church, I could never get a stick of DDR when it was cheap after rebate. I went there before church one time and saw them with my own eyes.
I must admit, I did it once. Max payne when it first came out was $15 at circuit city and $50 everywhere else. I cleared out 2 local stores and sold 5 copies on ebay for $38.95 buy it now. Sold right away too. I then sold my used one for $30 when I finished it. Wish I had had 50 of them, that was fun to have items in demand. Of course one buyer claimed the CD was missing from his new sealed box, and instantly left me negative feedback blemishing a 2 year old spotless image I had earned. Ticked me off he did that before contacting me. I would have took the hit, trusted his word and sent him a new one if he had just contacted me first. But in the end he got booted from ebay for false contact info and my neg feedback was removed. Eventually on ebay you will buy from or sell to a loser.
Sorry, Enough ranting and reminissing, sheesh.
