Caveat Emptor!
Ebay is an auction site,and nobody HAS to buy.
Maybe we should all sell our old stuff on Ebay and use the money to buy SAMs or X1000s !?
that's what i did! and it worked out great when I bought my Sam as I got some good money for some of my classic stuff that I had lying around as spares in my basement for years
! It worked both ways as the people that bought them were happy because the items they purchased were well maintained so Ebay can be a positive experience for both buyer/seller :-)..now of course some buyers get carried away and start paying ridiculous prices for common stuff but hey..that's their choice and it's not Ebay's fault !
just my 2 pesos
