Then maybe they're just horribly confused. :P Although, I did look on there, and some are priced the same with free shipping (which would be good if you wanted to use paypal). That just makes sense. But I saw one auction for a wifi-only Kindle at $199, instead of $139. That's a 30% increase in price. I have no idea why somebody would buy that off eBay, especially from an individual seller, not a large, well-known company.
