Default Can you believe this???...

Check out this eBay auction for the SU Retired list:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Stampin-Up-2005-...QQcmdZViewItem

I know this is unethical, but does it violate any SU copyright policies?
I sure hope no one actually bids on this!!

OMGosh!!!!! I cannot believe that someone would be so flippin' stupid to pay for the retirement list! Is that what "they" are actually wanting someone to do? Sometimes I think ebay is a moron magnet!!!

I emailed it to DS just for the heck of it. Maybe it will bother someone enough to stop them. It's one thing to sell stamps becuase they actually have value...but to purposely scam someone?

I can't believe this. The words that came out of my mouth can't be written. Guess it tells you the lengths someone will go to to get someone else's money!!!

I reported it to eBay also. Maybe they will end the auctions (they have several listed!)

Can this be reported to ebay as an item that is free domain and public info? They have several of these listed to buy. What people will stoop to!?!?!

But really, what moron are they trying to attract with this? Not only would someone have to be completely out of their ever lovin' mind to bid on something available for free to begin with, but then to pay more than the cost of the stamp to boot? Is it printed on gold paper or something?!?

I just checked and it's back... I just went to the SU website and unless I'm missing something (which is completely possible since I'm braindead most of the time ) the retired list is not posted on the customer site yet. I suppose if a person didn't know about SCS they might just be desperate enough to pay someone for the list. My demo hasn't given us the list yet, although she did say she'll be having a sale on a bunch of retired sets soon. I don't know, I think it's kind of funny, actually. If there is someone out there who wants to pay .60 for postage for single piece of paper to be shipped to them, well, more power to the clever person for coming up with the idea!

It's there, under the "specials" tab.

I am flabbergasted! I can't believe that someone would actually do this! I just checked it and it said that the bidding has ended with 0 bids, I am so glad no one fell for this one!

Nobody, in their right might would knowingly pay anything for something you can get for free. So obviously, any buyers wouldn't know the retired list is a free item, or the seller is packaging something that makes it more valuable than FREE.

I haven't seen the auction, so have no idea if that's the case (and I'll assume it isn't based on this thread), but there are people in the world that don't know about SCS - and maybe don't even visit SU's official site (I know - can you believe that?!). We read thread postings about new SCS users all the time so we just need to be better about educating our fellow stampers

It amazes me the things some people are dumb enough to buy!

You'd think e-bay could limit this type of thing, but then what is freedom?

I really hope no one would actually purchase this list. But, not everyone knows about SCS nor the fact that SU has the list free of charge! I think it's pathetic that this person would essentially prey on that ignorance and exploit it. Greedy, IMHO

horrible... but someone who doesn't really know will buy it. Shame on that seller - wouldn't that information be considered property of SU?

side note "Fairy Nice' is going for around $45 on ebay...
