$50 and up for Pre-seed on eBay?
| Sun, 09-28-2003 - 8:22pm |
Does anyone see anything wrong with this? Other women preying on women who are desperately TTC and are prescribed Pre-Seed, which is currently unavailable from the manufacturer, i really just cant believe it. After going thru what i have TTC, if i had an opened box, the only reason i would sell it is to try to help someone else, not to try to line my pockets from the highest bidder or the most desperate woman who may need it the most...whats next kidneys?
Any thoughts out there?.... i mean its one thing to sell furniture to the highest bidder...but to sell something that may be medically necessary for someone TTC? I think its disgusting.

Something to think about...

I don't know about Femore specifically, but MOST of the lubricants out there are NOT sperm friendly. Pre-Seed has been the only one many of us know about, and I see there's another one listed above that someone is trying out. You'd better have a little investigation into Femore....it's probably not sperm friendly.

hey I just checked EBAY and the listings for pre-seed started at $9.99 and $15.00, which is certainly not a rip-off, considering I have heard that the drugstore price was $19.99. Ebay is set up as an auction, so it is the people bidding on it that are making the choice to outbid each other for outgrageous prices (currently one batch is at $76.50.) SO instead of blaming someone selling something and who was certainly willing to take a reasonable price, blame the supplier who has caused the lack of supply which has lead to the people that can afford it, to pay whatever it takes to get it. Now, if people start listing pre-seed at 50-100, I would agree that they are being greedy, but right now, no one is doing that that I can see.
That's my two cents...
You all rock!

i just personally would not make profit off something like that....i believe in bad karma and you are what you create. its the US and people have the right to do as they please and i wouldnt have it any other way....but i dont buy that unleashed"greed" is the american way either.
thanks for the input-

why do you think they are auctioning it at all? do you really think they are auctioning it off bc they dont know its not available right now? all auctions start low..its nothing more than a pricing strategy. You dont auction something for a week without attempting to get the highest price.
you are correct however that it is the consumers responsibility to not buy into it...but it makes it hard when its such a vulnerable situation for some of these people. i admit that i was tempted by my desperation to have a child bc i am running out of time...but i started getting angry when i realized what was going on.....
hope you can see how this might be different to some people than just really wanting that set of china or whatever.
thanks for your input
