Certainly, I didn't want it to seem as though this was
"bad". Al Kossow has won an auction of mine and I
think he does have a website with very useful stuff on
it. Ebay is a fairly pure form of capitalism. It's
just me crying in my beer about not having pockets as
deep. Still, if one gets lucky, and finds something
misclassified or I can catch someone sleeping
(sometimes literally, at 2:00 AM), bargains can STILL
be had on eBay.

bid against them, and
that seems
to be the norm.
Or, you soon realize that you shouldn't bother against AEK. <grin>
There's another guy who bids on virtually everything
I want...
I "know" him, in that I've personally dealt with him
from
time to time... I don't think he's a subscriber
here, but
at any rate, I usually let him have the items, and
just
shrug it off (like a large removable disk drive
subsystem
that I honestly would have had trouble with
shipping).
But I always get a big, big wide grin when AEK bids
against
the guy, and generally wins...
BTW, the guy in question is a decent guy, didn't
want to
make it seem otherwise, it's just the his collection
has
no public face of any kind, and so it's like this
stuff
is just being sucked into a black hole...
