(meteorobs) I thought we were in a recession/depression!

[Leo S]

I think allot of people are taking advantage of the fluctuating currency 
at the moment. I also keep an eye/sell on ebay, and I've noticed that 
people are still willing to pay if they want something badly enough. 
Perhaps some simply don't understand the seriousness of the situation. 
What ever the reason it seems to be business (and in some cases 
stupidness) as usual!
