    But so what if Ebay is inundated, its a free market.

    Lots complain on here when individuals see a way of making money, I dont get it

    It may well be a free market - but its also a very greedy market ! Glitches like this are a wonderful opportunity to get a bargain but I do feel its selfish to clear the shelves just to re-sell at a good profit on ebay to the unfortunate masses who haven't been able to get even one lot instore cos ebay 'traders' have already grabbed the lot!

    I know stores don't much care who they sell to as long as they sell but retail stores are surely designed for the ordinary personal shopper - not for larger scale sales to people who are basically trading.

    Just my feelings though and I don't expect mass agreement. Incidentally, its not sour grapes - I did get my 3 pairs for family use!

    Got some today, thanks to the OP.

    To people who struggle with moose like SA's, try my trick. Smile and say WOW YOUR HAIR LOOKS REALLY NICE. HAVE YOU HAD IT DONE RECENTLY? SA thinks she looks like a movie star or something and gives you the whole low down by which time she has scanned everything and hasn't noticed the glitch. Works a treat for me, all the time. Woohoo.
