Brand New vs. Brand New. Duh!

If you go on eBay, you can find a set of king size sheets for $140.00 including shipping and no tax.

I made both phone calls with no expectations. I'm thrilled that you revealed the alternative but think I'll stick with Fresh New Hopefully not previously owned sheets. Sorta reminds me of buying a used Tooth Brush because it is cheaper.
The good thing is eBay is on the Radar for other items in the future. Hard to believe I'm sure but since Amazon arrived I put eBay on the family do not deal list. Maybe its time to rethink that strategy.

The price I originally quoted from eBay was $140.00 for brand new Boll and Branch king size sheets . . . brand new, not used.
How could you possibly equate brand new sheets with a used toothbrush??? And isn't any purchase a person makes "personal?"
All listings on eBay are very clear as to the condition of what is being sold. While there are a few different variations of an item being new, the listings are very clear and if you can read English you won't have a problem.
In my mind, a set of brand new sheets for $140.00 compared to what the manufacturer is selling them for is a no brainer no matter how you look at it!
