It's about people who follow eBay for much-needed parts and get sniped by people who do not examine the listings so assiduously but get tips on the list. Does this happen much? I don't know. Read the responses more carefully. It is just as wrong to conspire against a seller by asking everybody else on the list to drive the price down by not bidding on the item. I am with Damon on this one. There are both buyers and seller of parts on ebay who are on this list as well. So this cuts both ways. Those who lose out on deals will post angry responses. Same people will rave about their good fortune when they do win the auction. As far as I am concerned, the item will only fetch what it is really worth on the open market regardless of who knows what is being sold. BenT |
