How Can EBayers Sell So Cheap

Post by Daninski »

I found this http://cgi.ebay.ca/2-5-626-MX6-PROBE-KL ... 20b745b8bf and while investigating the company GMB, saw their Distributors advertise the water pump for $82.95. This Ebayer wants just $87.51 for everything. Can anyone enlighten me on how they can sell so cheap. Thanks

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Two things coming in my mind.
1.He has made a specific deal in the price with his provider for this kind of packet
2.He decided to close his shop and he is selling them just to get rid of them..
Or he is selling rubbish..Which i doubt cause he has good feedback

This just shows you how very little it costs to manufacture these parts, when you see higher prices elsewhere you just have to realize how much of a markup they're making off of that product. Even at that low price you're seeing, they're still making some profit.
Simple case of greed from big corporations.
Take gas prices for example, they don't have to be $4.00/gallon. They can be $1.75 and they still would be making billions in profit, just not as much as they would like to.

It's worldwide. US is no better, they have Chinaman do it for pennies and sell it to consumer for hundreds of dollars.

I love how it's like "Gas prices on the rise because of XX reason! In related news, BP reports record profits!"
