Jona I think you are losing your audience! You've heard bad things about
ebay and have no experience with it and so it's a bad horrible place.
You get snippy when people try to help you with compairibles to what
you're trying to sell.
I'm thinking your getting more people to "plonk" you than anything else
here.
