Why so many tickets on eBay?

Looking forward to my first burn, I see lots of tickets for sale on eBay. Does this usually happen?

Why :?:

Because there is an incentive to buy early people do. Plans change. People lose jobs. They start new ones and can't be gone. Relationships end. I suppose one or two might even die.

I don't know if there is a bumper crop this year or not. I thought I was done with the event and didn't realize that I wasn't until I got an offer I could not refuse for this year.

Something like $4.39 in Alturas right now.

Probably fakes, too. Plus there's more people, which means more people who are suddenly unable to attend. Sad, all around.

nothing to be alarmed at folks, ebay IS the largest clearing house in the world for stolen and counterfeit goods.
