" There was a listing on Amazon.com for the X220 with a couple of other used listings, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to give it a shot. I listed it Sunday night for $725."
I am not sure if the author means there was a listing for 'the X220' or 'a similar X220'. Whatever the case, it is really appalling that big internet companies refuse to treat their users like how they wish to be treated.
However, I have had only very excellent experiences with Amazon customer care. Maybe they value customers more than suppliers?
Unlike eBay or craigslist, items on Amazon are listed under fixed, pre-existing products, with variations (in condition, included accessories, etc.) noted in its comments field. On a baseline seller account, it's not even possible to create a listing for a new item that doesn't already exist on Amazon.com.
So I found an X220 listing with different specs, and noted the specs of mine in the comments. The other two used listings had done the same.
Sounds like the old suppliers' adage about WalMart applies here: "Not doing business with WalMart is awaiting death. Doing business with WalMart is inviting death."
