Why put your own auction on the forum if you object to the announcement of others on the forum? If I remember, the complaint is that announcing auctions drives the prices up. So, this exception strikes me as irreconcilable hypocrisy. (I don't mind anyone's auctions being mentioned on any forum, including these. It's not unethical, and I'm grateful for the help.) |

First, Charles~Richard, I regret your enraging difficulties dealing with eBay, that horror story and others have stopped my activities with them, I'm registered, but I'll only use them if I find the ONE item I have been looking for for the last 10 years. I think I better run down to the Mustard Seed Thrift store and buy the 50th Jubilee Elux w/the power head and duct taped plastic wand. I think I could find parts somewhere. They only want $10.00. Since I love the design anyway, it would be a great first one for the collection. Anything I have tried to alert my famous hi-fi company group about on eBay has been totally ignored. As has virtually everything else I posted. Sorry for straying, but at least I can empathise about putting a lot of effort into something only to see it get flushed into the internut toilet. Keep on trucking!

Coming from the banking world, E-Bay not excepting cash does not surprise me. There are Federal Laws in place the prohibit certain currency transactions. And since 9/11 even more so. We have to report cash amounts on various items through the bank or credit union depending on dollar amounts as well as the type of transaction. This is to help with drug trafficing and other issues that face our country. I know it seems to be an inconvenience, but overall it does protect us as individuals. Looking forward to seeing the items you have listed. It is to bad that E-Bay does not tell you this until after you have posted. Good Luck! Morgan |

You mean like this: Please see your post, with its order reversed. "Kinda sad, really, that some people immediately assume & infer the worst about other people ... and then unkindly hurl accusations in public." "...the main reason I object to people posting currently-running eBay auctions that they have no connection with (e.g., are not the sellers) is because more times than not, the links that certain people tend to post are only for items that they are not personally interested in. Otherwise, believe me, they wouldn't be broadcasting the auctions, but would try to keep them quiet for the very reason you noted --- to keep the bidding down as much as possible." You picked the wrong person to engage in a war of logic. |

"Especially not with someone who has an agenda and a long-standing ax to grind." Granted, some do, but not I. You and I never have met. I have no agenda against you. I have observed you to be irritatingly melodramatic on this forum, but that is my opinion, and I kept it to myself throughout the distasteful thread regarding your past ailment. To say that I have an agenda and a long-standing ax to grind, particularly against you, is unsubstantiable and constitutes an unkindly hurled accusation of the type to which you've recently objected. We can drop this if you want. I don't have a problem with you, but I'm not accustomed to being argued with about my reasoning, and you better not accuse me of something unless you have evidence to support your position. Good night. :) |

I'm not at all trying to get in the middle of this... But, for the sake of keeping peace on the forum... if this is going to continue, would you guys mind taking it to private e-mail? Thanks... |
