I've been making tons of money on ebay buying items at circuit city, staples, etc that have rebates, then selling them on ebay.

I just bought a wireless mini mouse at circuit city, it was $25 with $20 in rebates, costing me $5. I just sold it on ebay for $20.


Ok, I see the whole "I dont wanna wait for the rebate, and it's $5 cheaper than buying it myself" thing... but they have to pay shipping! $20 + shipping is like $24.85.

And thats not to mention the people paying MORE than retail BEFORE shipping on ebay items.

I've bought stuff, lost the receipt, said bah not worth the argument trying to return it just ebay it, and have gotten bids for more than I paid for the item.

Ebay makes people insane.
