Why, do you like paying through the nose for everything you buy?  Some
people do shop around, and I for one am quick to scoop up a bargain
when I see it.  Just because it's a bargain, or has no docs, doesn't 
mean it's stolen.  A case in point:  my father often gets notices in the
mail about army surplus.  One such notice included a lot with thousands
of electronic components.  This is what he wanted.  But in order to get
the components, he had to bid on the entire lot, which included alot
of stuff he didn't want, or for that matter know anything about.  
He made the bid, won the lot, and sold off what he didn't want, at bargain
prices.   Nothing illegal here.

Brian.
