Re: [DMCForum] bidding on eBay...

["Lauren" <LPLand@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK Guys -- I have to tell you that I sell on EBAY pretty much for a 
living.  At least it pays some bills and buys an occasional Delorean 
part ;)  

So I see both sides of the proverbial coin.  One one hand, agreeing 
not to bid up an item is good for the bidders, certainly.  And OTOH, 
as a seller I know that the bad kharma from this is going to bite me 
in the ass someday.  The reason I don't have too much problem with 
this is that the book is a photocopy so who knows how many times 
the dude will copy and sell it.   It's not a finite item like a fender (oh 
no! not THAT fender) or binnacle.  

Yes, EBAY can be a dog-eat-dog world but that's what drives 
Capitalism.  Greed.   I've been known to snipe my share of auctions, 
too.  

But this book is calling to me.  And since it's a photocopy, I figure 
it's not really immoral to buy it and copy it among friends.  Certainly 
beats bidding it up.

BTW, I'm **LP**Land on EBAY.  I sell mostly vintage clothes and 
boots.  

I know I'm rambling.  Gotta get back to work after screwing around 
online all night last night.
