Default Some people have no clue!!! eBay

Alright.. I was searching eBay, as I normally do looking for good deals. Tell me what you think about this..

SLP Chrome Emblem... direct from SLP sells for $9.95 + shipping.

Why are these retards on eBay bidding well over $30 for a $10 emblem?

SLP Chrome (SLP)

eBay

I just don't get it

Because with the one on eBay you get a free sticker too

Actually I think it's because people are ignorant and don't do research before they buy something... I research endlessly when I'm looking to buy a part.

A fool and his money are easily parted...
