But the non-memo-getters seem to all be selling using Auction format rather than Buy It Now.
Either that, or the non-ridiculous Buy It Nows have all been snapped up by efficient markets--maybe even buy the same eBayers who are then turning around and posting them at the ridiculous prices!
At least, that is the case for the Banana Republic and GAP Co. giftcards that I was shopping for today, after spending way too much real money at the mall yesterday.
