A year ago I listed an Airstream trailer 4 sale on E-Bay, had great pix, detailed info etc

My experience with E-Bay and questioners, NOT BIDDERS, leads me to NEVER EVER buy or sell anything thereon.
Thru an error on E bays part, I was charged for 2 listings same item, at least ten tries later trying to speak with a humanoid, and never connecting with one, I gave up, went to the card company and was told tuff luck guy, they have your money and we can't recover it.

Then the questioners,NOT BIDDERS, about drove me up the wall with questions about how I had priced the item at said asking price. Did I not know the last similar item was only priced at X amount?. To those I never responded. The nonsense ?s went on and on, and after the first period I just didn't renew the process.
Lead me to observe and believe many Bidders(?) are stay at home types who have little way of communicating with the world cept on a putr and delite in driving listers nutz with stupid ?s

Several told me to say that when the auction was over and I still hadn't sold the item, I should contact them to see if they might be interested , To those I never responded, these came to me while the auction was still continuing

I went directly to an Airstream message board later and sold the unit to the 1st caller at my desired price, no questions, no haggling, no telling me I was overpriced.

E-Bay buyers........Know the price of every thing and the value of nothing,in my very prejudiced but personal opinion,never fails to amaze me how folks can put out money ,sight unseen for anything

Sold a very nice bike for a bud leving the country, put an ad in the local paper classifieds, and put a sign at front of house.
I barely had time to get back inside the house when my fone rang with an inquiry about the bike, when I asked how he seen the ad so fast he said, "I'm parked out front and can I see the bike now?"
He looked, liked, rode it,went to bank got cash for price I asked. We became rideing buds till he left for the west coast
