[Boatanchors] Amazing prices

[Bob Young]

I don't know if you're looking at ebay or not but there are plenty of "amazing" prices on there. Sellers put boatanchors on there for for example routinely at 3-4 times the price most people would pay and just relist them over and over again hoping some sucker will come along and just have to have that radio. I look through just about every day and can usually tell who the seller is on ridiculously over priced items, gets so I don't even look at those certain auctions. There should be a limit on the amount of times a seller can relist an item to get the glut off.
