Just a quick note to all of you REALLY stupid ebay bidders who are new to the idea of an auction.

The point of an auction is not to buy an item for retail value, as one can just go to the store and buy something for that price.

The idea behind an auction is to pay as LITTLE as possible while still meeting the value the seller has put on the item.

Case in point, a MacBook Pro retails for around $2400. If someone has one they would like to sell for $1000 LET THEM! Don’t bid aimlessly every 5 seconds until the ebay bid reaches $2500… if you do that, you deserve a swift kick to the head.
