I recently bought several items from the Exchange Store Action Site. When I listed the sports memorabilia on E-bay, I received a nasty e-mail from someone in the UK, telling me this was a fraud, not worth $20.00!! It was suppoed to be valued at $1800.00!! I also received a Warning from E-bay that these items were fradualent; they removed them and told me if I listed anything like them in the future I would be barred from E-bay and possible legal charges would be brought against me!! Wow! I also bought some "Luxury" Watches that I hope to sell at my cost! Probably will lose money on these! 1296661

They dont charge tax on merchandise but, they raise the price to over what it would be off post after tax. Some of the bigger items yes there may be a small discount, but on the stuff we buy the most we pay more at AAFES. Take a pack of cigarettes for an example: AAFES tax free wants $5.25 for a pack of the brand I smoke. If I drive 1/2 a mile off of Ft. Carson to the 7-eleven the cost for the same pack of smokes with all the taxes is $5.02. This is the bull that our government contracters get away with every day. I will never shop anywhere on post unless it is absolutely nessicary. |

Do you think you are above everyone else and you dont need to follow the rules. Well here are the rules but I'm sure you never bothered to read them in the first place.

(2) Using exchangemerchandise or services to produce income. (3) Making purchases for the purpose of resale by, or on behalf of, an installation private organization or other non-government entity. |

Written by steven smith on January 19, 2012 from mt. laurel, new jersey, US Let me get this straight...you have the priviledge of purchasing items at the exchange where you pay no tax and things are alot cheaper than if you purchase them elsewhere and then list them for sale on e-bay to make a profit. Then you find out they are fraudelent items. Well, I would say that is what you get for tryint to make money off a priviledge rather than honestly. |
| 5. Written by SSMK on December 18, 2011 from tampa, florida, US Asides from the fact that they might be forged items, you are well within the risk of losing your privileges for reselling items purchased through the exchange in this manner. Especially if you're trying to make a profit. Look it up. |
| 6. Written by rick on December 10, 2011 from brooklyn, new york, US take the junk back to AAFES for refund. If DPP used you can challenge debt against the card. AAFES was warned and notified the stuff was forged. |
| 7. Written by Dennis on November 28, 2011 from ft. belvoir, virginia, US Yep, I have done the same thing. I guess that why they have removed all that stuff from the auction. I guess we are stuck with stuff we can never sell or pass down to the kids.  |
