If they are selling rocket launchers. The days will be near that government will shut it down, and your share will go to zero.

Think this through!

If you were running the ATF and needed to stop illegal trading in weapons, would you prefer that:

(A) Guns, bazookas, rocket launchers etc. are being sold in alleys behind abandoned warehouses somewhere in the country at 3:30 in the morning, or

(B) That they are being sold on Ebay with a complete electronic paper trail of everyone's email address, name, home address, etc.

Could you think of a better sting operation to catch these people?

The government will shut Ebay down? I don't think so.
