>>HJ, I think the biggest problem I have with ebay is that it is becoming a sort of cheap storefront for online merchants that don't have their own website, and there is no real way to navigate through all the junk.<< Michelle, I've never been to the eBay site but I've sure talked to a lot that has. Would you believe that I've also never been to a Wal-Mart store in my life. I'm not a good example of a bargin seeker. Except I did ask Glenn once if he could get me a discount on a ladies Rolex for my daughter Tracy. I didn't get it because after I told her I was going to get her a Rolex for Xmas she told me she didn't want an expensive watch. Now you can probably see why I love that girl. She must have got her values from her mother. Don't you think??

HJ, I think the biggest problem I have with ebay is that it is becoming a sort of cheap storefront for online merchants that don't have their own website, and there is no real way to navigate through all the junk. Michelle, My humble option is EBAY and their ilk are a fad. Also, a jeweler I know in another market placed a pair of new diamond stud earrings on EBAY with a total weight of .10 carat. The final bid was twice what he typically sells those earrings for in his store. He felt badly to sent a pair of .15 T. W. earrings. Glenn
