CROSS SILVER BALL/POINT/PEN BURKE MARKETING CORP ENGRAV

People on eBay are putting up things with the intent on making a profit, but when people just want to get junk out of their apartments, they call up on Craigslist. When I see postings like this, where the product has zero bids and the product is used and of minimal value to anyone else, then I wonder if these guys are just getting greedy.

Like, when a company starts giving out marketing pens for promoting their business, they'll usually be cheap little trinkets that cost very little for the business in question, and they'll be produced by the hundreds. And, they'll be given out for FREE. Sure, this looks like a nice pen, but most might not perceive the value the same way that it's being promoted.

Heck, the guy even admits he doesn't know how much ink is in there.
