To carry this post a step further... if you want to call ME an E-Bay idiot,
so be it... But I WILL tell you, just this past week, I found and bought an
item on E-bay I had been in search of for 3 years. The item I got - IF I
could have gotten it locally would have cost me $300 more than I paid for
this item. I know because I had priced it. So if being able to acquire items
of need on E-Bay and reasonable is being an idiot, then so be it. I'd have
to have been an idiot to allow this item to slip through my fingers even if
I had saved only a $100. Just a few weeks ago, I bought yet another item on
E-Bay that was hard to find and paid a decent price for it. I saved maybe
$50 this trip as opposed to new locally, BUT the item is no longer available
as "new". And this item was brand new in the box. E-bay has been very good
for me. A God send in some respects. I've acquired a few other things there
I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. MNS

FS/FA/FT/WTT/WTB - what the hell difference does it make? I don't mind
reading the ads. That is what this news group is for. What DOES get me, is
if they list the same items 20 times in a day or a week. Give the ads time
to work. But otherwise, the news groups are like a News Paper - everyone
has
a favorite section. You read what you want and ignore the rest. What is so
hard about that? IF you're not liking a person's posts, place him on
blocked
senders' list under newsgroups. You'll never have to worry about his posts
again UNLESS someone replies with his wording included. FILTERS were made
for people to do just that, FILTER. USE IT, whining won't do it. MNS.
