eBay Economics 101

I have over 500 transactions on eBay and sometimes it still mystifies me. Some stuff is obviously laying around somewhere and the seller is just trying to turn a buck ala yard sales. OTOH, I have bought brand new articles there that are so cheap I don't think even a distributor could turn a profit. A couple of years ago I bought a set of NIB (new in box) MOMO custom rims for my sons car. Officially they weren't even on the market yet and I got them for 65% off retail. I mentioned this to a friend of mine that owns a rim and tire shop and he said that there was no way he could get them that cheap. Also, he didn't blame me one bit for buying them on eBay at that price. <br /> <br />So as far as "How do they do it?". I haven't the faintest idea short of them heisting an 18-wheeler full of the stuff. <br /> <br />Karl
