Haven't purchased anything off of eBay yet, but I might have to in my quest for the ultimate Dreamcast collection.
I was planning on selling my PS2 and games through it very, very soon, though.
SoulSkorpian, I may be persuaded to sell it to you at a reduced price if you have other crap you'd want to trade <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There's a gigantic list of these, each one funnier (and usually more ridiculous) then the next.

Like;
5 -> 22 -> 48 -> 73 -> 102.
Otherwise I just don't see how selling it like that could be profitable for them. On top of that if one of their guys wins he Auction, it's okay because they neither gain nor lose money. And of course they probably did everything they could to cheapen their original acquisition.

VERY nice headset for the money. I bought two... the 2nd one nearly paid for itself through shipping savings and discounts.
