Gaugie, you are certainly mysteerious. If you care to, please tell us what the Internet tells us about the psychology of the sucker, and why you think you are one?

For me, it is mostly a really neat research library and archive.

I don't buy things online, mostly because I don't buy much, anyway, except groceries, books, and vitamins. And booze, which comes under the heading of groceries, kinda. I don't think the shipping charges would justify the order, when I can just run to the Giant or Costco for what I want.

I have surfed around, looking for things to buy, but never see anything I want to buy without actually handling it first.

Edit: I am going to surf the ebay site, I read about it in the paper yesterday, I do like junk stores. Maybe I will get hooked.

OK, I took a stroll through ebay. It looks like a flea market on-line, at first, all I saw was junk. After a while, I did see some nice beads, but I think I would rather buy them from a dealer directly, I don't see what an auction adds to the purchase of beads, which are fungible, that's kinda the point with beads.
