I've been trying to get some bike shit for cheap off eBay of late and have been noticing some really odd behaviour:

I was bidding on two parts that can be had for £24.99 - delivered - from the main online presence of the company that was holding the eBay auction. On the two that I was bidding on, the first went for £22 delivered (fair enough I suppose) but the second went for £28. This wasn't the first item that went for over the odds, but it was the latest I've seen so serves as a good example.

No wonder companies use eBay so extensively now - most of the time they seem to get a large portion of retail and occasionally they make over it.

Odd.
