on global economies

so i ebayed this microsd to usb converter since i'm playing around with flash drives lately. (i'm trying to find a good solution for bulk buying for a business idea i have).

i go to ebay and find one that's on buyout for $0.89 with free shipping. i'm thinking "that's not a bad thing" so i splurge and spend the $0.89 halfway thinking i'd never see the item.

i had to pay via paypal which, for some reason, didn't charge me anything for the transaction (maybe it was too small?!).

to my surprise, i actually got it today shipped all the way from hong kong.

all that for $0.89.

i'm guessing they are making a profit because they have a lot more listed (and not as bulk).

wewt!
