i3`s on ebay??? Not!!

Hi all, I have been watching the prices of i3`s on ebay for a few days now as a matter of interest, to see how they go pricewise. Some of them start off for next to nothing and towards the end go for some very strange prices, ie: over the top. Do people actually buy them from ebay?
Some have gone for £170. How come they dont check out the prices through google or whatever, I have now found that comet are selling for
£129 with free postage, which will probably be the new maps and software etc and a guarantee, do they actually believe they are getting a bargain?

I suppose it`s a case of "pays your money and takes your choice"

Regards....Dilwyn Stop it!

The prices on ebay seem inflated across the board. It constantly staggers me how much people seem to be willing to pay for stuff on ebay, especially used stuff.:

I have two theories:

1) People get off on the ebay thing. They like bidding and watching their ratings increase.
2) Internet newbies think of ebay as being synonymous with "internet shopping".
