Not trying to argue, but for those of us without access to an outlet (my nearest is 4 hours away), eBay can be a valuable source. Not all resellers are horrible people. I simply believe it is up to the bidder to research their item before bidding. That's what led me to TPF in the first place. I can use the outlet reports here to estimate the selling price, factor in the cost of gas if I were to go get it myself (about $45 round trip), and place my bid accordingly. Sometimes I win, sometimes not, but it is my responsibility to determine what I'm willing to pay for something (this goes for everything, not just COACH). Basic supply and demand.
