Scam Alert

[seasoldier3531]

 This thief here is selling this product for way way over the price it's actually worth, he should be removed from Ebay.

The actual price for this product should no more than 70.00.

Please explain how it is a scam. Unless the buyer gets no item in return for their payment, there is no scam.  I see nothing illegal going on here. Maybe you do?

OMG, let's go to WM and tell them they are scamming people by selling for more than they paid.  

What is the world coming to when the "buyer" doesn't get to make up the price THEY want to pay?  I only want to pay a dollar, why are they charging me $500.  Whine whine whine.

Capitalism at it's finest.

The owner of a piece of property has the right to ask whatever they wish for the property.  Your right, if you think the asking price is too high, is not to buy it.  If you feel the item is not worth more than $70 then by all means do not buy it.  However, what you think the price should be has nothing to do with the seller's right to think it is worth more.  Since you and anyone else has the right to not buy it at the seller's asking price, you seem to have falsly accused the seller of committing a scam.

News flash for the OP,

It's like this outside of ebay too!

Last year shopping for a greenhouse, the price range was huge for the same item.

Not cool to come here and accuse a seller of a scam because you didn't like the price.

Since when does a buyer dictate what something should sell for. That is dictated by how much someone is willing to pay for it and it’s market value.

It’s getting a lot more difficult to tell if some of these posts are serious or satire.

@lamber9347,

You wrote: "Caveat emptor"

In cases like this, when buyers think they should control how much a seller lists an item for, that should be  Venditor Cave.

The fact that someone may pay more for something than you think it is worth does not mean for one second that the seller is  thief. If you buy something for 10 bucks and someone offers you say 200 are you going to refuse that offer or accept it and become a "thief"?

I bought a motorcycle part on eBay once for about 55 dollars. Once I got it I decided it was not quite what I wanted. The seller did zero wrong and I left them glowing feedback. Wife thought it was a waste of 55 bucks....

Waited a month and listed it on eBay hoping to get my money back. Rash of bids at the end and it sold for almost 500 dollars. So does this make me a thief of the highest order?

You do not set the rules here...you do not get to set the price...but you can complain all you like and whine like a baby that you can't buy an item at the price you are willing to pay...

 you are referencing non-essential item and therefore there are no rules that apply to "fixing" the price so that it suits you.

This is not price gouging= this is a matter of supply & demand and what buyers are willing to pay...

Don't like what you see? go elsewhere...move on, there is nothing wrong here...

Report for what? They can list a non essential item for whatever they want!

Actually, the restriction on what is known as price gouging only comes into effect in times of a declared emergency and is usually limited to items considered essential to the preservation of life and safety or prevention of loss.
