Is This For Real?

[OLD GEEZER]

Francis: I have sold three collector cars and numerous other items and have nothing but good things to say about ebay. I think you should take another look and give it a try. Thomas

I mostly deal in used gun parts for double shotguns- I like to find old "parts guns" and salvage them for possible re-usable parts- sometimes you get some good parts, other times not. But like the guns I acquire (all used) I only buy from people I know and trust- a few dealers at shows, mainly from farmers.

You can't buy or sell guns on E-bay, but we can sell double guns and parts on the PGCA Forum. The $40 annual membership is a bargain- I have dealt with quite a few members here, every deal has been A-OK on both ends. To list on E-Bay, as on GI, Gun broker, etc- you must open an account, and that means both Pay-Pal and giving them a credit card- I'd cut off my right arm in a table saw before I would ever do that- too many fraud minded folks out trolling the choppy waters for me-

A PGCA Life member, whom I respect mentioned the term 'WARY" in his anaylsis of my "modus operandi" and he is as right as the mail on that- I do my business face to face, handshake and payment terms are those my Granddad taught me- CIF- CASH IN FIST-- For others here who have done well using E-Bay, I say "More power to you- go for it, I'll never get in your way" because Hell will freeze over and St. Peter will be pouring Michelob to go with the motza balls on rye before I ever take a step in that direction.

I wish I was smart enough to understand what my pal Luigi was telling me about the "rigged and dummy" false bids that drive up prices on E-Bay, but I am not- but I am cautious and possibly smart enough NOT to trust what I don't understand. My prediction- just as the Madoff Ponzi scheme finally saw the end, there will be a loud crash and burn on E-Bay and some folks will end up holding the short end of the stick--and the swindlers will be in some Bermuda island on a yacht, holding up a glass of champagne- like in the movie "Trading places"-- looking good!!!!!

From Wikipedia,
Matzoh balls in a bowl of soup, Matzoh balls (Yiddish: קניידלעך kneydlekh pl., singular קניידל kneydl; also kneydls, matza balls, matzoh balls, or matzo balls) are a traditional Ashkenazi dumpling made from matzoh meal.

Your thinly veiled bigotry never ceases to amaze me.
I too wish you were smart enough to understand that never in the history of the world (or the hereafter) have Matzoh Balls been served up in a sandwich on Rye Bread. If you've ever had a well made Matzoh Ball in a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, you'ld know for certain that it would be found on any heavenly menu.

-- That phrase came to me in the USMC from my best fried, Lennie Teitelbaum-- being of the Jewish Faith, he knew, and even explained to me, what a matzoh meal was- it was his Yiddish humor in his own spin- first off- St. Peter is NOT of this world- being a Catholic even I know that- so the scenario is set for a form of what the Hindu might call a "Koan" a riddle set in an illogical scenario. I have been a guest in his home several times in Long beach, enjoyed great food and humor. If he were reading this- he would no doubt laugh and add- "So, whaddare ya- schmuck with earlaps already?" The ability to laugh at either the world or ones self in harsh surroundings has been one of many reasons for the survival of the Jewish faith over eons- in spite of pogroms and the horrors of the Holocaust- you want an example (already?)-- Mel Brooks is as kosher as they come- see his great spoof movie "Springtime for Hitler"-- or for an great example, following WW1 in Englasnd and the 1924 Olympics held in Paris- "Chariots of fire" and the star runner Abrahms- all the snide comments couldn't deter him, even from the idiot Prince of Wales- "well, do the best you can, Abrahams, that's all we can expect"--

You owe me and my friend an apology, but Hell will most likely freeze over and Gabriel will be pouring Guinness from a stirrup cup before that happens- now try to find something anti-Semetic in that if you can. And in closing, Lennie's favorite phrase with the coming Christmas Holidays- "Be sure to deck those halls with matzoa balls" !!
