Why would you pre order, from someone who is ordering on line just the same way you can, and pay a couple of hundred dollars over retail?
And the economy is bad?
Wow.
People do when they do not have a credit card but have P*yPal account so they cannot order directly from a retailer. Also, there are some people who are outside the US who are not allowed to buy high-tech products from a retailer, but can always find someone on eb*y to sell to them... Often times these guys will have mail drops in the US that forward all mail/packages to them (Asia, Middle East, etc.).

And thene there are just the run-of-the-mill morons...

The majority of the ones I watched were in the US.
There were a few that were international.
I suppose the credit part would make sense in that you can use PP to deduct from your checking but I thought you needed a credit card on file for PP?

That's the thing -- these guys claim that they are in the US and have a US mail drop, but they are outside.

I ran into this when I listed my old iPhone on eb*y -- I stated US only in the listing. One guy responded, claimed he was in the US, but he was really in Sudan and had a mail drop. I can't remember how I found out about it... I think he had some P*yPal issues with his Sudanese bank...
