Retail shock always hits me when I walk into any store nowadays. Lemme explain: why buy a nice jacket for $75 or a game for $60 when most of the time I can get it on eBay for upwards of 80 to 90% off? I do understand that stores do need to pay rent, employee salaries, stupid customer insurance, etc. but damn! does it have to be so expensive?!
The only reason I really go into stores at all is to actually look at the stuff I wanna get at the auction site. Besides as lazy as I am, I'd much rather have the hot UPS or post office guy deliver it to my door than me lugging the thing all the way back to my house. And the place has so many crazy things that you'd never find in stores like handmade stuff, expensive cars and Soviet-era submarines (granted those last never stay up for too long but I do admire the bold bastards that think that stuff up).
Anyways, I've gotta get back to crazy bargain huntin'....
