You have a point Andy! I've seen that before. One example I have is pretty
silly: I was looking for a Burger King toy, I think about a year ago, and I saw
someone paying about 5 times the price you could get for one of them at the
restaurant! It was the toy of the week!!! I thought, well, maybe the person is
not in the US and wants it really bad. Wrong! I checked the buyer's profile and
he/she was in the US! Go figure!
