Do people actually do this?
Seriously, some of the things I see on eBay just make me wonder "Why?"
Ok, so here's a listing on eBay. It's a new, unopened Amazon Kindle 3, the 6" version with both WiFi and 3G, from a seller in Jacksonville, FL. He has seven of them for sale, at $249 with free shipping and a no returns policy:

Here is the exact same device on Amazon.com. It's $189 with free shipping and a 30 day return policy.

What the hell is going on here? It costs money to list an item on eBay even if it doesn't sell, so clearly somebody must be paying the $60 extra to buy their Kindles from some unknown guy with a no-returns clause, but WHO? And this is by no stretch the only one. There are dozens of listings for these in the $210 to $280 range. It's not as though there's a worldwide shortage of Kindles- they're not precisely rare, so why would anybody do this?

Ugh... ******* whiskey!!! I should have known better. I'm typically a Jager man, but they were out. I just had to drink the Crown. Went out with a girl I'm trying to get with last night and she had to take me home because I was throwing up on myself... embarrassing 
Goddamn empty stomach, medication and Crown. Last time I drank whiskey the same thing happened, so I should have known better. Coincidentally, the last time I drank whiskey and threw up on myself I had just eaten some chili cheese burgers, and last night all I had all day was a small bowl of chili. Red meat vomit on my $100 jeans and $150 shirt FTW!!! 
At least I was up early enough to pick up my car and stop to get fast food breakfast, **** yeah! How the **** do I make this one up, lol.
