Ok...From now on If I find a sweet deal I'll keep it to myself. I mean honestly it's a pointless arguement any further down this line. armax if people don't want you posting that stuff. Don't. Majority rules. Any posting of that means you're just trying to make things worst. This doesn't have to be a 3-4 page debate/argument.

And yeah I'm being a coward not saying my ebay name. :( It's donnieharris. I bid on a lot of porn so I don't want anyone seeing that. ;D

I'll be the first to say I'd beg/borrow/steal the $50 and "take advantage" of the old bag... if you define taking advantage of her as getting rid of what she must see as an eyesore and she only wants $50 to get it out of her sight.

I'm used to following your posts on everything else and you usually are very concise and on the ball.
It's Monday, I had to something at work. ;)
You seem contradictary in your postings though.  You say it's immoral to get a deal/take advantage of the seller, yet you started a thread for freebies (which I think is a good idea but should be a daughterboard.  See the website forum for my post).  So how is scoring a freebie any different than getting a deal/taking advantage of a seller?  That's the part of the difference between ebay and a retail setting.  With used items, there is a "Do I want it anymore" factor (among others).  If a seller thinks so little of an item as to not be careful to list it correctly or do any research for the approximate worth of the item, my buying it a low price could be keeping it out of the trash.  If you think it's bad to buy for a low price, then how can you justify receiving an item that is just being given away?

And do you think my guidelines for ebay postings is fair?

At this point is there any reason to continue the debate any further?
