I found it very interesting in the reading how sites such as amazon.com track your buying tendencies and base your price on that information and it makes me wonder, do people set up certain computers and buy cheap shit on them so amazon thinks that this person isn't as well off so they get the better price? I know this may sound ridiculous but I'm quite positive that my grandmother would use this technique just to save a penny. I know this because on a daily basis while growing up we would hit at least 3 grocery stores a day in order to find "the deals"... and then go play bingo.
eBay has always been some what of a mystery to me... i try and sell good stuff and it never sells... then i try and sell crappy stuff for ultra cheap and it went for $150 (USD) who are these people paying that much for crap? However in the reading I did learn one hell of a lot about eBay and how it works. (i'm sure there is already) but there should be a manual very similar to that "Pez" paper that everyone should read before they go on eBay all willy nilly, if I knew then what I know now I probably would still be selling stuff on eBay. And interestingly enough when those women were talking about trolling and searching for misspelings in auction items to try and get them for cheap a very similar thing like that happened to me only i didn't get dicked over by troll(er)s and the item never sold.
