an ebay moan, by Deleted on Feb 19, 2008 10:14:59 GMT 1, I understand why people would want to point out an auction that is ending soon and going cheep(if it is their own). but why point out auctions that you have no interest in?.
surely we want to buy things cheeply. if someone has an interest in buying a particular piece of art they will generally be looking at ebay and will know about it anyway. so your not doing a favour to anyone but the seller. which is fine if that is what you set out to do.
anyway you get what i'm on about.
moan over.

maybe i'm too sceptical.

an ebay moan, by Michael Jacob on Feb 19, 2008 18:15:40 GMT 1, pointing out bargains is a tough call. I like helping fellow forum members, but more times than not, the information gets into the wrongs hands!
What if silky can create a "members only" area. You would have to be voted in by a certain number of members who think you're legit and not a flipper.

but .. why keep it in the hands of the minority - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
