Several years ago, I sold stuff on eBay as a quasi-retail activity. I'd save off a copy of the bidders list with email addys just before the auction ended. (the addys were only available to me, and all but the winner's address became unavilable to me the minute the auction ended) Anybody whose bid was attractive to me got an email outside of eBay. If you got that email, it was a signal that you could have bought it where I bought it much cheaper. I never went more than 10% below the auction price. If the email came from somebody who knew your email addy and the auction you bid on, it probably came from the seller. The price difference implies that either the bidders are paying way too much, or the auction is a scam and they are getting nothing for their money. Is it possible that the seller is getting the phones for next to nothing from an outfit like Tracfone, unlocking them by deleting Tracfone's software, and selling them for a huge profit? Or is it possible they have a crate of stolen phones?
