<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2159373, member: 27832&quot;]Yeah, there&#039;s some cost there. But I&#039;m lucky enough to be in a position where locking up a few hundred (or a few grand) for a couple of weeks isn&#039;t a big problem. As for the time, well, if I&#039;ve got a few spare minutes and I&#039;m in the mood to camp on new BIN listings, it&#039;s easy enough to do, and the return process takes a few minutes spread over a few separate interactions. I&#039;m sure I <i>could</i> do better by applying that time to study equities, or take an online course, or something -- but those aren&#039;t <i>entertainment</i>, at least not for me. This is a good fit for my character flaws, I guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not that much of a gambler by nature -- if it were a chance of winning $1K or losing $100, I&#039;d likely sit it out. But browsing a few web pages and filling in a few short forms, with a substantial chance of winning $100 and no chance of losing any money? Yeah, even I&#039;ll go for that, at least on occasion.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Different sort of time-and-trouble investment. I always know where to find eBay, and can get to it with no travel overhead, whenever I&#039;m in the mood. I know some of the &quot;great eBay deals&quot; are from people who paid even less at local auctions, but I&#039;m not plugged into that scene, and I&#039;m not eager to start scheduling my free time around public auctions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
