HAHA - I doubt there is much appeal for these outside the GH community.

Best part - "Shipping remains the same up to orders of up to 6."

-_-... I only bought 13 of those and I am not selling any.
I didn't know where to put this so I just put it here. and did you even see any of my comments?
Also, this is technically a 'great find' since I found this on ebay and no one else found it and it shows this person make money off gbs.

He first tried to sell off his caps as "spares" in the original GB thread. When I sent him a PM and he responded with that $16.50 or something like that, I "shamefully" responded by calling him a D-bag and said to sell his stuff in the classified ads. I kind of feel bad for doing that. It wasn't the price that annoyed me; it was his tactic of trying to sell it in the GB to people who missed out.

Yep this confirms it. I'd say he's doing fairly well so far. 35 sets sold on GH, another 10 on ebay. So 45 sets at est $12-13 profit per set, so approx $540 in profit.

The Geekhack caps on ebay do seem kind of weird, but having sold stuff on ebay I admit it's pretty smooth from listing to sale.

Scumbag move IMO. I'd ban him from any future GBs if I ran any (hopefully soon :D)
