And there was a discusion about this Kaypro some time ago... 
 So, he has lurred about 20K people to look, for a total cost of
 about twenty dollars spread out over the years.
 If 1 in 4 went go on to look at his store, then his cost is about
 10 cents per hundred viewers! even at a 1 in 10 a hundred viewers
 is still less than what Google costs. He is a power seller so he is
 doing an ongoing business based on those eyeballs of at least $1k
 or more per month to offset the ~$1.50 per month in listing fees to
 keep it going.
 What I want to see is the "Declined" offers! 
 He's banned me from making offers, after I offered $100 and $105 for
 it. 
Hmm, I wonder what he'd do if a lot of people who didn't seem related,
but maybe all read this mailing list, put a $1 "best offer" on it.
