Buy a full install version off eBay.
Use it.
Sell it on eBay.

Just go straight to Lion by getting a Lion Install USB stick.

That won't work. According to the Apple Store page you linked to you still need Snow Leopard.

System Requirements
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

For upgrading, yes. But the USB stick will let you do a clean install.
