    I'll say one last thing on this thread - I hope -. I am a big user
    of EBay - got 50th feedback lately, all from buying. The latest
    bargain I got was about $1200 worth of cutting tools for $80
    w/shipping - yes, I'm serious. But you have to pay attention to get
    those. I often don't even look at the auctions, I just hit the "Show
    Buy it Now" button, and pay for items, like a store. In fact I mostly
    go to Ebay stores for most everything. And I ALWAYS look at the
    feedback, and actually read through it, for anybody new - also those
    bidding on things I want. That, to me, is what makes Ebay stand
    apart, is the feedback - people gain a reputation, good or bad. 

    Finally, a story: for whatever reason I was searching for something,
    and there in front of me, believe it or not, was an enigma machine -
    the reserve price was $1 million. Where on earth besides Ebay are you
    going to find that? (Enigma Machine Incredibly complex German WW2
    code machine of which there are about 5 or 10 in the world and yes
    they all belong in museums......)
