goodbye [was e-bay item]

The solution is called a email filter. If "eBay" or "auction" is in the message subject filter the message to a trash folder. I don't see quiting when things don't go your way as a grand gesture. I am also willing to bet everyone will return, moth to flame sort of thing. High volume lists take a toll on the brain, and I know enough of them that I can't stay subcribed to more than a couple at a time, so I take vacations from several of them for months at a time. Feels good leaving, feels good coming back. One last bit on "eBay" I don't buy very much at all on eBay, the prices are just too high. Its a sellers market right now, so I try to keep a few items up for bid all the time, and I am pleased to report things are selling well over local swapmeet prices. Some items I still bid on, and grumble over when I miss the bid, or more likely roll my eyes when I see the final bid amounts. Other items, I prefer to hunt for. It spoils the fun for me to find what I want at a market price just sitting on a shelf. Price is part of it, but not all of it, I want to find my choice bit in the bottom of a box or in some lost corner of a warehouse. I am a junk tiger, and don't like my prey ground up and put in a dish.
