Wow, with all of the bitching on this board about scalpers, you've got some pretty big stones to ADVERTISE your marked-up auction here on the forums. You should've returned them to Kohls, or god forbid... offer them to a seibertronian for cost plus shipping... I did. There's even a thread for it.

Luckily, the bottom is starting to fall out for BB's on ebay, prices have dropped all week as more hit store shelves. By the time that 6 day auction is over, you'll be lucky if you even have any bids, considering your minimum is $15. Good luck.

She did find out, that's the point of the post.

I've always considered Buy it now a cheat for people too impatient to wait until the end, so it cost a more. When I started the auction, they were ending in the 35-38 range, so 2 bucks to guarentee the win isn't that much of a rise in cost.

And for the starting price, 12.99 + tax + ebay fee = 14 and change, so if anyone wins at that price I make a whole 20-30 cents.

I fully expect to take them back to the store.

I'm not arguing with anyone, but you have to look at the whole picture before you judge.

And in the end, I still don't get to keep one, so at least someone get's one.
