'She' got three times feedback as seller two were negative !
She seems to be a good buyer ..
Well I'm not spending my money on 'her' items with bitsavers and other
sources around ;-)

Thing is, the negative feedback is back in 2004! Since then
it seems positive. And I don't see what "she" was selling back in '04.
If it's rip-offs from bitsavers, well then I have a problem.
OTOH, if "she" has been scanning her own collection, then 1)
why the hell isn't she a member here? ...and... 2) it's her
problem dealing with copyright owners.

she's getting...
*BEWARE* Sells photo-copies of vintage items & claims they are very
rare !!!
the answer :
If you cannot find a copy of something then it is rare, ask
b4 buying moron
!!!!
Says something about the seller.....
I think it's a opportunistic persoon with a short of cash....
Couldn't be a list member.

I just noticed this:
http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmariamarkham
Considering some of the odd groupings (eg DIGITAL
EQUIPMENT
CORPORATION AND OSBORNE DOCUMENTS), it seems like
this
person
is perhaps not putting a lot of effort into this
or
isn't
knowledgeable. And if they aren't either of
those, what are
the odds they'd bother collecting and
scanning
these materials?
On the one hand you can argue: they are just offering
a
service for people who can't download large
volumes of
documents. On the other hand, all of us are
skating
on some
thin ice by scanning copyrighted material in the
hopes
that
nobody really cares. It seems like a bad
precedent
for
> someone to be selling them for profit.
