[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 116417, member: 50"]I can only speak for myself but I do that, I look things up on my phone all the time. Sometimes it's because I want to know what they are currently selling for because the market changes and sometimes I just want to know what something is without buying it. I "re-sell" but why not? I go to thrifts, auctions, antique stores etc and am always on the look out for things I want but at the same time I find things that I think others might want and I can make enough on to cover some costs. Win win! I even opened a little retirement account with some of the proceeds. I don't look for bar coded things or search by bar code but do sometimes end up with some fairly new things. I always wonder why anyone cares if someone is looking things up. You either buy it and make the store some money or you don't. If stores raise their prices it's because people will buy at those prices (or the get stuck with things they can't move). Supply and demand. I see a lot of people looking things up that look like they're doing it for more than recreation or for fun.
