I'm always surprised when I see people buying them secondhand on communities or on eBay for more than the sticker price. I mean, I guess these people don't have freestanding stores near them? I would be happy to pick up some of these for people at the store in Boston, but since I'm new and don't have feedback I doubt people would take me up on it. I just hate seeing them pay inflated prices for something pretty cheap and basic! But yeah, I didn't realize also you can order them over the phone through MAC Pro. That should definitely be the way to go!
I am just about to fill up my first palette, and I think I'll be getting two the next time I get to the store. Palettes rock!
