What is this all about ?

I have noticed this a lot over the past few years but have never asked in case I am missing something so obvious that people will point at me and laugh.


Re-sellers on Amazon, like this dealer here ;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&me=A3497R0FSYZ1O5


iPOD classics : £230.99

iPOD Touch £359


It's not just this seller, but loads who over inflate prices by upto 300%. Am I missing a scam here or are they genuine sellers ?

they are genuine seller, just trying to prey on the people that dont shop around and when things are out of stock elsewhere...

also in their defence, marketplace seller get major stung on fee prices, Amazon really do take a good chunk..

Bloody hell, it is genuine then .

I bought a used book for my wife a few months back . New it was £2.99 , but has been out of print for a few years. It was nothing special , just a ref book on some plants.

But around 10 buyers were asking £300 for it and one joker had it up for £238,999.

I ended up paying £5 inc postage and felt turned over
