Live Strong Ebay Losers
Anyone buying a Live Strong wrist band from Ebay for anywhere from $5
to $20 should be ashamed of themselves. Take the $20 and get 20 bands, with all the money going to cancer research. You people selling them are even worse. |

I wanted 10 for a birthday gift (need them in a week) and bought them on eBay for $1.00 each using a seller with "Buy it Now". He was charging .50 shipping and handling for the first band and .35 for each additional. Pretty fair as far as I was concerned. He was also absorbing all eBay costs for selling. He's sold over 10,000 bands so far! But you're right, the people, and I use the term loosely, selling the bands for obscence prices and not giving the excess money to the charity are pretty low. As far as the people buying them, if you needed some, like me, then you gotta do what you gotta do. I just think they're foolish for not being a better shopper. -- Skuke Reverse the domain name to send email |

You people selling them are even worse. Anyone buying them for that much is an idiot. Anyone selling them (assuming they paid their dollar in the first place) is just using the situation for their advantage. I have no problem with that. If you don't like it, don't buy it for that price. If enough people don't buy it for that price the sellers lower their price or give up. Simple. Totally fair. |

One seller had the nerve wanting $19.95 for shipping and handling for one
bracelets and found some idiots who even fell for that. |

Ordinarily I'd consider someone profiteering on something like this to be utterly reprehensible, but you have to wonder how many people are buying these as fashion accessories and to be part of the 'latest thing' with little or no consideration of the symbolism and meaning behind the bracelets? Let'em pay $500.00 for them. P. T. Barnum lives on. |

Dear Nipplehead, Your local cancer doctor went through many years of schooling to get to where he is...saving and or making peoples lives easier to live with cancer. 100's of K's in student loans. What price do you put on saving just one life, let alone the many that they have saved, or made life easier for. That same Doctor probably pays out about 150K/year for his malpractice insurance.
