Resellers straight smoking crack these days?
I've made a few reasonable offers ($185) on a NW/Moab makers bag on Ebay. Doesn't even have tags. The seller declined, ran it down, and instead re-listed for $45 more than the previous listing price. It's been up for six months already, so whew lad.
I mean, yeah, discontinued fabric - that's cool, but is there anyone out there actually paying this kind of batshit pricing? Like, I mean, at $265 - $285 USD without even bothering to include an absolute strap - stuff like this is basically just going to sit there for years until the scalper gets bored right?
Including the $60 in shipping, a classic Ebay overcharge, the listed pricing would be almost $650 NZD - which is like double the cost of locally commissioning a fully custom bag in my own fabric and colors at that point hahaha. No color combo is worth an 80% markup over retail for a production line knitting bag, certainly not in this economy!
Please tell me nobody is actually paying those kinds of prices for this stuff, I need some faith in humanity restored here.
