i just came across some products being sold by ausriver on ebay. i wasn't familiar with them but they do have a good business model
step 1) advertise equipment on ebay for 2x retail price
step 2) take orders, buy the product then ship
step 3) roll around in the cash they just made
for example, they have a CGEM-DX 1400 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain computerised "Go-To" package which on sale for $21,266. Andrews coms are selling the same product for $9,999. They also have listings for lower end products which are 3X the price. they are taking advantage of people who don't have any knowledge of this equipment and think they are getting a good deal.
have a look at what they are selling for over $5k (with apparently 6 sold already)
