Do people really buy new ereaders off Ebay?

I took a quick look in Ebay's ereader category tonight, and was a little surprised at the number of people trying to sell (specifically) Kindles at prices higher than Amazon's. Wi-fi models were offered at £139.99 (£111 from Amazon), and 3G models at £189.99 (£152 from Amazon)! Are there really people other there stupid enough to pay those prices?

I also find it amazing that people pay greater-than-new prices for second hand items in auctions, such as a current auction for a wi-fi Kindle that stands at £104 (inc P&P) with 8 hours left on the bidding.
