Not everyone is as affluent as most of the people on this board are. That's why.

That's a shame and wish I could buy them and donate them back to that player but they would probably just put them back up on E-Bay anyway....

Wonder if it isn't a pawn shop or a collector selling them. Based off some of the items that I see listed for the seller, I'm willing to wager that the seller isn't the original owner.
