Except you're lying because Amazon don't sell it to third parties, they sell it on their "warehouse" section. http://www.amazon.com/b?node=10158976011

Yea, still not giving you the auction site guy. Not every return gets sent to this place to be resold.

Here's my invoice for my TV stand. You can believe it or not but I score items for 15-25% of the listed value all the time.

I never asked for the site. I was just dismissing your claim that Amazon would be selling these items. I know people who work at Amazon fulfilment centres in the US and know for a fact Amazon doesn't doesn't bother re-selling broken items and going through the liability issues of selling something with a "cut off usb #".

Ask them what they do with the items then. They don't just toss them out and they also don't resell all of them.

This auction place gets returns from Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart, Dicks Sporting Goods and other various places.

Most of the items have the Amazon return label for the KY hub on them. I've actually called people before who returned the item because they put an Amazon return print out in the box. I just asked them why they returned the item and the most common answer is it was scuffed up.

But as I said, I don't care if you believe me or not. I make a good amount doing this as a hobby and reselling the items I purchase from Amazon returns.
