I make a gross profit of about $140 after some trial and error. iPad's are available only in America and demand is very high in just America. Now count all the Europeans, Asians, and Aussies who also want one but can't get one locally. They HAVE to buy from American sellers. I'm happily obliging them... :-)

Nice, $140 isn't bad at all.
I was half tempted to do something similar, but I'm not sure if there would be power supply issues buying from the US.
I'll contact you if I go through with it

Nope it's not. But then factor in shipping and listing fees which amount to about $40. Shipping international is even more but I compensate for it by charging higher shipping fees.
gehzumteufel, I buy from Best Buy and they don't give a fuuuuuuuuu...

Yeah, I know about all that I buy and sell a lot of second hand cameras/lenses on ebay . I considered trying to get 10 of them shipped together, to lower the overall shipping from the US per unit, but I dunno.
Power isn't an issue? How do they charge? USB or something?

USB. Easy as cake. That's what makes them internationally attractive. No need to worry about power socket standards. I am actually charging on the low end. If you were to go to amazon while I have a listing, mine is usually at the very top. Demand is so high I have gotten buyers within minutes of listing. I'll refresh the page full of listings and all of a sudden, mine is gone, and I'm like 'WTF, did they take it down'? Nope, I got sold out that fast.

Neat.
I don't fancy my chances of getting hold of 10 of them though

I'll definitely consider it in a few weeks. I'm heading off on holiday on the 8th of May, so it would be kinda useless to have them sitting around here while I was gone (if they ever arrived in time).
Ebay is such easy money, lol.

Anyone looking to buy? I can probably get you a really cheap price on this one!
Was in there a few days ago... fucking disaster. Pipe burst in one room at the end of the house and sprayed for 2 weeks. When the owners came home from vacation, they found their entire house like this.
