Exactly! I doubt anyone on this list makes a living by selling on
E-bay. I do it to find homes for some of the more interesting stuff that I
find but can't keep and to help pay the expenses of looking for the
stuff. Even then I doubt that what I make from E-bay justifies the time
and effort of listing, packing and shipping the stuff.

FINALLY! A voice of reason in this
seemingly endless debate.
Well said
Joe. If you add up the time spend digging stuff
out of musty basements
and barns, gas and wear & tear on vehicles driving hundreds of miles and
time cleaning, testing, etc .... what little return you receive
[even at eBay {gasp!} prices] is well deserved.
Amen. If anyone is at all serious about making money to
pay for their time, I can't think of many substances you
can resell on eBay that would make it worthwhile. On the
other hand, it might be a good way to dispose of stuff
that comes along while you're doing something else.
