I give up, I'm not an ebay seller
they've made more money off me than I have trying to sell. In this world there are buyers and sellers, I'm a buyer.

1. I suck as a buyer...
I got ripped for 35.00. No response from the seller, no item sent, he cashed my check, and then he was banned from ebay. And now I am 35.00 the poorer and he has the boots and the money. :grr:

5. Aw that sucks...
I've had an ID for years, but only really started using it in the last couple months. I was using it at first for antiques for my mother-in-law, but lately I've been buying used musical gear. So far, I've been lucky-- no rip-offs, fair prices, etc. I guess it's just luck :shrug:

3. I was trying to finance my getaway
just in case, you know. I want the resources to be able to get out of here in a minutes notice, so I looked around at what I have and don't need.
A collection of antique gas station maps, a collection of rare National Geographic wall maps.
All of my fishing eaquipment that I can't use anymore, in short anything I thought would bring enough to get me out of this red hell to somewhere blue.

4. The fees are getting ridiculous...
I used to sell a bit (records & books), but nowadays, it seems like between Paypal & Ebay (both owned by Ebay), I lose a MAJOR chunk to fees...I've quit selling for that reason...
