The ebay URL's I've posted here on occasion have been items
I've run across that I think other's might be interested in that may
not appear that often, such as the Tandy CM-1, monitor I posted a
couple of weeks ago. CM-1's have always been difficult to get a hold
of and quite desirable for those with a graphics card that supports
it. I certainly wouldn't post a reference to every PC-XT or Mac II
that gets put up for sale on there, but I look at it as trying to
help people out, just like similar posts for anywhere else that
people find classic computer stuff.

I'm curious... Has anyone here purchased something
from EBay that
they wouldn't have found unless the advertisement showed up here?
I believe that if people are going to buy something from EBay, they
already have searches set up or email announcements, and don't need
to see the announcement here. The people that HATE EBay don't want
to see the announcement because it only pisses them off.
So, I vote for no EBay advertisements. Especially the one line
http://www.ebay.com/... kind with no supporting text. Many of
us don't read email with a HTTP degraded browser.
Anyone else want to weigh in on this issue?
