Things That Used To Be Nice But Someone Ruined It For Everyone

eBay

eBay used to be this amazing multi-national garage sale. Filled to the brim with people selling their used stuff. Then people started filling it with garbage and no-brand products and drop shipping it to the winning bidders. Then came the people that started using it as a storefront and charging full retail value for NIB items.

Now eBay is nothing more than resellers that find it more affordable than developing an actual web store. Leaving me scratching my head, wondering why people don’t just order it from Amazon for $20 less or walk to a big box store and buy it for the same price without shipping or a wait. I’ve permanently checked the “used” button, and the search results have been far better, but there are still people that keep the original box and try to sell it in new condition for full retail.
