Just a bit of a good plug for E-bay with my own experiences:
While I have purchased many items in the past and have had both good and bad experiences I must now brag just a little bit. If you will take a look at the very primitive web links that I have put together to show off some of my wedding pictures you will see my new wife wearing a dress that she purchased through an E-bay auction for less than 90$ US. For this you can follow the WWW link at the bottom of my posts or click here.
I truly miss Ebay. I could do business with it still, but the problem is most Users do not want to conduct transactions with people outside of the USA. However, I have gotten so many great deals that I literally became an addict, mostly for selling rather than buying. Oh well those were the days.
Offtopic but, Hey Bwren, great wedding pics! If you Email me a description for each I will choose the best ones to put in our Family Album. |

One of the dread things about Ebay is when you get the message,
That happens on Fridays sometimes when they are doing maintenance or maybe they have a lag in their server. What annoys me is when you're trying to contact a seller and they do not have that enabled... how are you supposed to find out shipping costs!
