Have you seen how much the Q&C vouchers are going for on ebay? There's one auction for 2 vouchers that's up to $42!!!! I guess some people just assume they're getting a deal if they buy something on an auction...
 
I think the people that bid on the vouchers don't have clue about how easy it is to get them. A little research will save them a ton of $$$.
 
I don't know anythig about connections but just had to add this. My grandson had seen a haunted mansion key on e-bay that started for 12.50. It sold for 28.50. The seller gave a big spile about how it was hard to find these and in 14 days at DW he'd seen it on the cart outside haunted mansion once! I told my grandson we'd wait and take our chances. Sure enough. We got 3 keys (one for each grandkid) for 8 bucks each!! You just can't believe everything people tell you!
 

I thought I read here that connections & ebay were pulling the auctins for vouchers anyway.

People do go nuts on ebay!
 
Yes, they are crazy!
 
you can sell anything on ebay to people who don't know any better. I was looking at Oilily tights for girls on ebay. They were selling forclose to retail price of $48. Most sold around $35-40. My sister bought the same kind of tights at an Oilily outlet store (in Orlando durind out WDW trip) for $7. gotta love ebay. there's one born every minute.
 
I've come to the conclusion that you can sell almost anything on ebay for twice or three times the value!
 
IMO, some people have more money than they have sense.
 
I once saw a listing for the WDW Resort pens (that you can get FREE) selling for $1 per pen.
At the time I thought "what a rip-off, I get those for free!" but there's a sucker born every minute (it seems).
 
Sometimes you can do well. I won an auction for one of the LE Haunted Mansion figurines that were being sold at the 999 Happy Haunts Ball, and with shipping, pd only about 30 more than it was purchased for, and didn't have to buy the 100+/ ticket to get into the event. You just need to know the price. It kills me, though, how much those monorail playset accessories are being sold for. The Haunted Mansion, which you can order from DW for $22-$25, is being sold for $30-$40. Now I know how these people are paying for their WDW vacations! (But they can't fool us!)

For those who have gotten caught up in the heat of the auction, don't feel bad. I ordered a "matted Disney print" for about $12 with shipping. Unfortunately, the "matted Disney print" turned out to be a "matted postcard" (a sample image of a larger piece of animation art) which I could have gotten for free, being I work for an animation art company! DUHHHHH!
