Oh no, I'm not arguing that at ALL. It's just giving me some nice ideas =D

Ah, I see. That makes two of us then

Funnily enough, I've been in the market for a night sight recently to help with my work and to have fun with, so I had a browse on ebay and just happened to find a sight that was the next model up from the exact sight that I first acquired over 24 years ago.

In 24 years the price had only dropped by £80 or so, I was surprised that they still sold that particular type since I thought they would have been obsolete by now, but from the looks of things they still sell for a premium.

I was gutted that I missed out on a different upto date model that had an M42 type lens screw thread fitting, (same as a pentax camera lens), It went for £70 in the end of the auction, There were a few nice cheap lenses on ebay at the same time with the same M42 type fitting, I could have had one of those for £10 or so and had quite a nice little long range night sight for under £100.

Costs more than 20 cents to procude. Its not just a resistor. The thing is actually quite well designed and packaged. Getting the shaped and tension right must have taken a fair bit of work. Its a pretty ingenious little device TBH.

I'd pay $10 for it. Its nowhere near worth $50. Someone is going to steal his idea, and with the way he's designed the page I won't feel bad for him. Been a while since I looked into marketing and what not, but IIRC you do need to get permission for use of certain images (as well as properly disclaimaing trademarks or what not) when you're using them to sell a product. You can't just plaster someone's likeness on your ad to push a product. The creator owns it. That, and he's watermarked them too.. and that's just rude. You don't put your freaking ebay name on someone else's product(crysis).

This reminds me... I wanna mod my 8800GT. I think I can squeeze a bit more out of it. My case drastically lowered my temps. I think a little overvolting would be safe.

Have you over-volted via bios? I managed to sqeeuze out another 100 mhz on the shaders doing a simple bios volt mod from 1.12v to 1.18v.

The more crazy things are those people bidding on these ones:

This reminds me that I need to pull the two eVGA PCI-e 7800GT's out of the closet and throw them on ebay. They've been sitting there in their boxes for a long time, might as well throw them on the 'bay...

[MegaJIT]

Look at this! All they are selling is a resistor on ebay and it's upto $48.... I really need to look into selling stupid crap like this on ebay!

[NodePark]

Cool and ya, start sell weird stuff!

[MegaJIT]

I just can't belive the stupidity of people on ebay.. I sold my 9600GT used for $100 last week, with $10 shipping ontop of it!

[iroxmxinau]

My best sell was Assassins Creed on the 360 - bought it day of release at Asda for £38, played it non-stop for 3 days, completed it, stuck it on eBay, 3 days later the highest bidder paid £42 + £2.50 shipping.

Eh..130-140$ is a lucky price if you get it sold here. That price was a freakin' deal so I don't think the buyer was that stupid lol..

[Sopsneork]

it is something different if someone pays too much for the product that does as advertised compared to a product that simply is fraud

[Janarealiti]

I quite like the idea of that, his feedback is very very good maybe its a decent item for people who want a simple volt mod?

[xpllmr]

I see Laura Flynn Boyle and a Porsche in that ad...

[Sillaycheg]

I thought about coming up with some horrible crap filled ads to sell my old hardware... but then I realized im a packrat and they cant have my stuff >.>

Still I wonder if I can get somebody to give me like 100 bucks for this 8600gt... I did put a big fancy looking cooler on it, thats gotta raise the price at least 40 bucks lol.

Yup, look at this feedback too, people have brought the mod and got their gpu's clocked allot higher then they could before, nothing wrong with that hes selling IMO.

*As for my 9600GT, when I sold it, there were 3 to 4 on newegg for $94.00 brand new with free shipping.

Well, ebayers are a bunch of crazy people.
