>>>I don't understand your critisizm of the auction.

That's because my criticism isn't of the auction but of the buyers who are perfectly willing to bid OVER actual retail prices.

In the auction I showed you, the top bidder could simply walk into any WalMart and buy the item for less. EVEN IF they are too lazy to do that, they could have ordered it from the online site FOR LESS and without the inherent risks associated with buying items on ebay.

The example I showed isn't some isolated incident, I see it all the time. It's the daily lunacy that is called ebay.
