A few years ago I was trying to buy some Ducks Unlimited shooting glasses on ebay. I kept getting outbid and they kept selling for more than you could order them for from a distributor, which I finally did. The last pair I got beat on I actually sent the winner an email and told him "Do you realize you just paid more for these than you can order them for on line every day of the week?" I never got a reply but it made me feel better .

How do you send the winner of something on eBay a message? I thought they blocked this information..

They do now. You used to be able to communicate directly but I guess they figured there were too many back door deals going on so they stopped it. You used to see the names of the bidders; now it's just a code number.
