Didn't place a bid. Was
interested in a HP fax/copier/printer but the low bid was equal to retail from
Staples. Not certain what all this means and still a little confused about all the
interest in on line auctions.


I have noticed the same thing. Most products are close to retail. Cant really price used or refurbished products. Then deal with UNKOWNS around the country to get resolution. DEALERS on auction have to pay 10% to ONSL; 1.25 to 5% to EBAY.

We all know that the margin on computer equipment is no more than 10%. So how can anyone auction off NEW Computer Equipment.

I guess Time and News/TV articles will break that news at some poinm in time.
