i was looking at world cup stuff to collect when i run across a bunch of people selling match balls on ebay. now i see no problem with this, but the people bidding must be stupid.
this item is currently at US$150 with $35 shipping. thirty five dollars for a ball?
it gets better.

same exact thing for at least $60 cheaper.
this seems to be happening all over ebay. people could save money by going to a legitimate site. its crazy.
how do people go about business getting ripped off on ebay? are they that stupid that they don realize they can buy elsewhere cheaper?
PS
(i saw a final ball go for $300. crazy when you see what they sell for)

If it's THE final ball, then it's worth it.

but its not even one with France-Italy on it. plus, there's like 20 REAL ones, considering how many times the ball goes out.

Since this fits in...
the broken laptop i sold on ebay (http://www.amirtofangsazan.blogspot.com/)
And... it seems that not only did someone buy the broken piece of crap, but, it wasn't so broken after all and the buyer found a lot of explicit, blackmail worthy material lurking within the depths of the laptop's drive...

Your answer is in bold.
Because people are inherently stupid.
