The mini on eBay

Apparently a few entrepreurial types in Britain are buying up iPod minis (or is it
"iPods mini"?) here in the States and then bringing them home and putting them up for auction on eBay.co.uk, where some of them are now going for over £500. Sure, there's a shortage, and the European release has been bumped back a few months, but is that really any reason to shell out a nearly thousand bucks for an MP3 player? You could freaking fly to America and pick one up yourself for that kind of scratch.
