Yeah, but you can give it away for free on Ebay and charge $99.99
shipping and handling. Even those that actually sell stuff on ebay
make most their money on S+H.

I was recently searching for a part for an antique car, and google
took me to that slease ball Ebay, not that I would buy from the
crooks, but the part was listed for $.99 and the S+H was $149.00
The part weighs about the same as a average can of tuna, and is not
much bigger. A local salvage yard found me the part at another
salvage yard, for $60 plus $8.50 shipping.
