I was bidding on a router table (I know its not a Halloween item, however, all my woodworking tools sure make building tombstones easy as pie). The router table brand new cost $269 and the person selling the table was the company that makes them, they also had a link to their web site which showed the prices of all their products. The router table sold for $301. Not just one but 3 of them sold for that. How stupid are people to pay $301 when it cost $269 new.
Bottom line - you can't outbid stupidity.
Sorry, i just had to vent - things that make you go gggrrrrrr.
Life is full of choices - if you don't like your life - make better choices

I know how you feel.I saw on ebay this lighted ladder with halloween characters climbing it.I liked it .It was 25.95 starting bid, but I found it @ abc distributing for 18.95,
then noticed these people were selling everything from ABC on ebay and added 10.00 to the original price then gouged the S&h so they were making a 20 to 25.00$ PROFIT off someone elses stuff! totally buyer beware!
Hush ,little baby ,don't say a word and never mind that noise you heard,it's just the beast under your bed, in your closet, in your head!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... A fool and his money are soon parted.
I've seen exactly the same thing with the electronics. Things that you could google and get a price of $100 are selling for $140. People are idiots when they start bidding wars. I swear some people get high off the biddding process.

I LOVE Ebay! Do you all remember the possessed toaster that sold for over $40? LMAO!!! Recipe for Ebay successes story.
Go to a yard sale.
Buy $2 used toaster.
Put it on Ebay and tell people you keep coming home from work and finding it in the middle of your kitchen floor with a circle of burnt toast around it.
Make $38 buck. LMAO
I love free trade.
Ahhhh....can you hear them? The children of the night. And I’m there daddy!
