You have to hunt for bargains that's for sure. Used items can be more
reasonable sometimes. I also try to get creatove in my searches. People
that do lousy listings don't get many responses and their prices tend to
stay lower. I happen to collect a particular variation of wedgwood and I
occasionally find good bargains because the seller thinks you spell it
"wedgewood".

I just got a "Response from Ebay Member" letter, asking me for more
photos of my auction. funny, I've never auctioned off anything. and
over in the right hand column i get this:

"Isthis message an offer to buy your item directly through email
withoutwinning the item on eBay? If so, please he! lp make the eBay
marketplacesafer by reporting it to us. These "outside of eBay"
transactions maybe unsafe and are against eBay policy...."


They type worse than I do!

So I sent it to . and Ebay or Safeharbor will send me
their usual "we're on it!" type of letter.

amazing market place.


I've about given up on bay for the stuff I used to look for the fishing
gear, photo gear, computer gear. There are too many dumbed-down buyers
willing to pay more than retail.
