eBay madness

...
   Most
complaints [about ebay] I think are just sour grapes.    :-)  Sour I may be, but
there were plenty of sources of neat computer
 "junk" before eBay. 
Yes.  And ebay has drained off a lot of good stuff that probably would
otherwise have found its way into sane channels.  (I don't consider
ebay sane, and based on the flamefest that erupted last time I tried to
explain why on a mailing list, I'll keep my explanations off list.)

Of course, it's probably also saved a lot of good stuff that would
otherwise have gone to the scrapper, so it's not unmixed.
