SCAM alert - Sellers posting Kmart items at inflated prices

[fcosenti]

People,

I got scammed - I purchased a hallway table with free delivery for $65. Yesterday I received a parcel FROM  KMART directly, it was this table. I go and check the Kmart website - the item is for sale online for $30.

This is it: http://www.kmart.com.au/product/black-hallway-table/124214

The seller didn't even bother to have the goods delivered to himself and then to me - shameless scammer.

Since the overall damage is just $25 (Kmart delivery fee is $10), I reported the seller to eBay and I left negative feedback.

While for electronics it is easier to check pricing online, for furniture it is much more complex.

Note that a lot of people are selling the exact same item for hugely inflated prices ($65 was the cheapest on eBay when I bought it). I am sure they are playing the same game with a lot of other stuff.

currently happening with some shelving units. They're selling dirt cheap on kmart but are listed as out of stock. Yet the same products are listed on ebay at over twice the price. People are simply scalping like mad.

They're not scammers, they're  entrepreneurs IMO

Good luck to 'em.

After all, it's buyer beware

I had to taste the cake to make sure it wasn't poisoned.

Every crumb needed testing.
