I guess it depends on if you are a seller or a buyer.... The idea of getting cels just to resell them on ebay bothers me; but that is capitalism at it's finest. Sometimes auctions do get the cel to the person who really wants it the most. But ebay encourages last minute lurkers to become snipers, and take away all your bidding action in the last few moments....not to mention all kinds of oppertunities for fraud.... saw a cel that was for sale on another site, put up for sale on ebay by someone who did not even own it. Luckily nobody bid on it. also those who monitar how much some type of cels go for on ebay, encourages some dealers to raise their prices to that level. Like most things in life...ebay has it's good points and it has it's bad ones as well. Nobody is twisting your arm to bid on a Ebay cel, but I can speak from experience; that's hard not to bid when that cel you have been looking for shows up there. |
