Cant speak for Chris, but I found it informative about the "types" of
individuals selling on e-bay. I am seeing similar "types" of people using
ebay in the Porsche community as well.  Seems that e-bay kind of provides a
"shield" for some who may not want to deal in a more straightforward form of
a sale.

Autotrader, The Samba, Craigslist, etc all seem to have a more personal type
of interaction. and thus a different "type" of seller.

Not that EVERY e-bay sale is this type but it does seem to the most
insulation between the parties.

I too prefer to buy and sell outside of the e-bay sphere.
