> Newegg can't tell the difference between market research because you're about to buy versus research because you're about to sell

I agree. I think it would be very difficult for them to tell the two states apart, but I found it amusing.

Isn't this a market opportunity, though? Make a website that provides product information for people who want to sell an item. Give tips on how to advertise and mail the item. Sell packaging supplies. Why isn't Ebay already doing this?

Only if newegg had a "Sell One Like This" button, they'd earn a commission, though cases aren't worth shipping, so it was a local sale anyway.
