Ebay=auction, which to me auction means " a way to get fools to pay 2 to 3
times what an item is worth". The last ( and I do mean LAST) auction I went
to was a guy selling off 30 years of tools, parts, and cars from his garage.
He hired a professional auction firm to come in and sell the stuff, and the
story was he was in poor health. I wanted a floor jack, he had three for
sale. All went for $65.00 to $75.00, too close in price to a new one for me.
One damn fool even bought a cardboard box with used rags and a nearly empty
bottle of Windex for a dollar! Found out a month later the guy wasn't in poor
health at all, after the auction ( and the sale of the house) he left his
wife and moved in with another woman!
