Yep. Liberty, that is.
And it's pretty simple, btw.... You can buy a box of 100 paper clips for $2.99 at Wal-Mart and sell them for a Buck a piece if you wish. :p Go for it. There's nothing wrong with it.

BTW, you can bypass WalMart and buy direct from China ;) ....and SAVE! :rolleyes:

'Getting the word out' about the best "deals" out there is a different story. That's cool - :cool: :)

p.s.
for people who really believe that it's so wrong to buy cheap and sell High.
Next time when you find a local curb-alert deal, something like , let's say, a ...hmmmmmmmmmmm.... a Tascam TSR-8 recorder in fine working order just super dusty together with a roller-stand, box of cables, remote control, demag, a couple of 4'x4'x4' boxes of used and NOS tapes and reels for $50 (fifty, that is) bucks ... - DO NOT TAKE IT!!!!!!!. But, Instead, say to yourself: "It's wrong. That person can sell all this stuff for MUCH MUCH more. I can't take this stuff for 50 buck. It's just too damn WRONG"
:D
 
That seller is Mike Moree and his company name is Audio Specialities. He is quite a nice fellow in my experience. He can find parts that you need often and at reasonable prices. I don't think that based on my experience with him that he is trying to rip anyone off. And I don't see a problem with him buying parts from Tascam and offering them on eBay for more than he paid. He is a small business owner and wants to make a few bucks.

Let the buyer beware. And educate the buyer rather than go after the seller in this case. The seller will drop his prices if there are no buyers.

Personally I would like to run across a primo TSR8 for $50 every day. You would see them on eBay for $600 and I would not be working for a University.
