How about
avoiding this nonsense and making things available to the list
first before posting them to eBay? It sure would be much nicer. I'd hate
to see ClassicCmp become a damn ad board for eBay.
In case you haven't noticed this could be easily known as the classic
cheapskate computer list, which I of course am proud to be a member of. ;) I don't want to see ebay ads here either, EXCEPT
for anything
genuinely unusual, then I would like to know about it, call dibs and
have the rest of you not bid. ;)
I don't care if someone points out an odd auction here or there, but I do
object to people using CC to advertise eBay ads. That's what the search
function is for. If you want to advertise on CC, it should be to solicit
offers directly.
I want to say something here that includes the word "carpetbagger" but I'm
afraid it would be too incendiary.
