1. buy a laptop for $305
2. before you even have it, copy the auction verbatim and put it on ebay.
3. sell it for $325 + $20 shipping - 15% ebay/paypal fees = $293
4. get caught by the original seller because you left their phone number in the listing and people call
5. make it worse by getting caught trying to have it shipped to a third party

yes. someone bought a laptop from us, then figured out it wasn't what they needed and stole our listing and resold it. then wanted us to ship it to a third party. *sigh*

okay i know there's nothing fundamentally wrong with buying something and reselling it. but sheesh.
