What gets me, on eBay, are new items which are generally available in
numerous stores and websites, and the starting bid (or reserve) is
the full retail price. And, there are actually people who bid!!! I mean,
who pays $100 plus $15 shipping for something they can walk into any
Circuit City store and get for $75??? These bidders are located in the
USA. Are they just too nieve or lazy?


No, this happens in the UK too. I gave up trying to get cheap on ebay
over here for that very reason. Not necessarily that the reserve price
is full retail but, by the end of the auction, the final winning bid has
skyrocketed over what you would pay normally.
