About a couple hundred too much for my taste.

The single biggest problem with sellers on Ebay is overstating the condition of an item, or pleading ignorance as to the age, quality, or origin of an item. Most people I buy from on Ebay (not all) seem to have a different set of eyes than I do.....items described as 'mint' and 'perfect' arrive with scratches, rust, wear, etc. Another warning flag is the poor quality digital photo - you know, some guy selling a $75,000 Viper with cell phone images. Occasionally I will buy something that is accurately represented but usually it's not.

I used to get Matzoh ball sandwiches on rye at this little deli in Manhattan all the time. They were out of this world.

His late uncle was head groundskeeper at the old (House that Ruth built) Yankee Stadium) in Da Bronx-- twice while we had a delay leave in transit in the USMC I went to Yankees games with Lennie, his father and other chums- we got 3rd baseline seats- met Casey "Der Olde Perfesser" Stengal, before he 'retired" and ended up with the NL Mets- bad move I should guess. We also went to Coney island several times with some of his HS girl friends- and his family was involved back in 1912-13 with Nathan Handwerker and his friends in establishing the World-known "Nathan's Famous"-- great times, and I still like the Yankees for the best AL team-- used to like the Reds when pete "Charlie Hustle" Rose played, now I kinda have shifted my allegiance to the St, Louis Cards-- paid off pretty good too this past week-Shalom!!!

Destry, your right, not too much trouble had on Ebay here either. I have not done as much business as you on there, but I have a 100% feedback score of 445 and counting. And in my 8-9 years of selling an buying on there, I have only had a few bad experiences. There is no better place to find or sell whatever and have a large audience to market to.

No I can't say the same for Craigslist. lol.
