At serveral surplus locations that I frequent, I note that there is
always a gathering of Ebayers who attempt to scoop up anything

reuse the items in their shops and more than once I have seen very
heated discussions concerning their practices.

Well in addition to Ebayers there always seems to be those that are
looking
for items for their permanent yard sales.

People go to auctions to buy stuff. The high bidder gets it. What they do
with it afterwards is really nobodies elses business. If I am buying
something for my shop I spend more on it than I do if I am buying to
resale it. It seems that you are just mad because stuff is going higher
than you want to pay.

I thought auctions were a place where the high bidder got the goods.
Period. What's the difference what anyone does with the goods? The seller
gets his cut, the auctioneer gets his vig, the buyer pays top bid and takes
the stuff home.

What did I miss?
