> One day a guy contacted me and said, "Hey, I have a GPS from my work that I don't need, and I want you to sell it for me." I looked up the GPS; it retailed at about $1500, and was selling for around $1,000 on eBay. I would literally copy/paste the official product description and earn $150 - a no-brainer. I told him to ship me the GPS.
This would have tripped me up--I would want to know why he was selling a work GPS that, presumably, did not belong to him.
He said he worked for the company that distributes them, so they get them as gifts and he didn't really want it. I heard stuff that all the time - "My work/wife/boss gave me X but I don't want it" so it didn't register as weird.
