That's not 99 pages of iPads for sale on eBay.

The number doesn't go higher than 99.

It's more than 36,000 but that includes more than 24,000 accessories and other brand pads.

Here's a shot for "ipad 2":

36,252 results found for ipad 2

which includes

24,673 accessories
4,507 computer accessories
iPads, Tablets & eReaders 1,172

But I do see iPad 2 covers selling for less than Apple's prices. The synthetic cover for $10
and the leather cover for US $17.99 with More than 10 available

But at least some of the information is false (all versions described as "leather") and a color not available from Apple is for sale.

I know. My friend from work who had an iPad2 has put it for sale on ebay. Once the Steve Jobs factor wears off he found out that it was just a useless toy and doing a bad job in everything. On the other hand Android with things like the ASUS transformer is truly heading towards netbook/laptop replacement and I think Kal-El and Honeycomb 3.1 and 4.0 will give many a reason to dump their PCs for Transformer like tablets.

>>99pages of iPads for sale on eBay, i wonder why <<

You'll note that most of them are brand new, and selling for more than the retail price. People are selling them to make a profit, taking advantage of the fact that demand exceeds supply, and that the device is still not available at all in a lot of places.
