| There are alot of people who can't get to Walmart so they buy from the internet. How do you think sellers get their inventory I buy from I See Spot, Hip Doggie, Oscar Newman, Puppy Zzang, Kwigy-Bo Wholesale and sell them at a higher price then I get them for. That is the law of supply and demand. That is the retail market! I have seen the lady with the pink rose on Ebay I have purchase from her myself. I purchased a carrier from her for I believe $45.00 plus shipping it was gorgeous I was so happy.......then I saw it at my local Petsmart for $18.00! You know what....I lost out becaue I didn't see it there first. Not all stores/websites sell their items for the same price either. I get some things from Walmart just the things that I find cute and don't think are out on the market. I do charge for my time and gas but I charge exact shipping and don't bump up for handling. Lulu Pink use to be exclusive to their website (Lulu Pink) but since they stopped selling Walmart picked up their line and it is alot cheaper than we use to get it wholesale. I saw a pink lounger bed at Walmart for $24.99 then saw it on Ebay and other websites for $60.00 plus. Some people will buy it because they like it and don't find it in their area. A shopper has to be wise and look for quality first then the price. I look for variety on a daily bases I am negotiating currently with various vendors to offer different items for sale. I am not in the market to make a killing just to cover my expenses which include ink, paper, postage, supplies, boxes, web hosting, advertising, phone calls, my time and gas then have a little left over. I have lost on a few deals when it comes to shipping but that is called trial and error. Again the consumer has to know what they want and where they can get it. Sorry for the rant but I just hate generalizations.

| I have noticed this too, but don't say anything because if I'm not going to buy it, it's really not my business. I'm glad you mentioned it though, I've seen it for awhile and have thought I was the only one!

| This is just wholesale/retail business sense. I think the thing is that Walmart just has such good deals that it is basically wholesale to many. I bet the people buying these walmart products would never step foot in the store! HA! There is also the convenience factor. There are many people who do not step foot into any store, as they buy everything online now. Free enterprise at it's finest! Gotta love it.

| Can I ask why it would be a sin to make a killing off of a sale on ebay? (no, I haven't sold stuff from Walmart) People people, it's a free-enterprise country (thank goodness). I say all to ya! In fact, perhaps I'll do it too! I've notice they have end of season outfits for dogs on clearance...just have to hold onto them for another season or two and then they're in again. Join 'em!
