I don't think you quite understand how many idiots there actually are on the internet. I made $20 back off the shirt that I paid $25 for.
So I got two shirts to start with, one for myself and one to sell, and ended up paying a total of $5 basically. I think that's a pretty smart strategy if you ask me.
PROVIDING it paid off.... Which in this case it did, so more power to ya.
I'm well aware of the idiocy of ebayers and people in general.
I sell a lot of second hand and collectable music on ebay and other places... Tho', I guess I'm dealing with an 'already educated' customer base to start with so am prob over-estimating your average ebay monkey.
