Very handy.

As far as eBay, I use eBay a bit more selling than buying. For some items, it cannot be beat, and I've run across some uber cool sellers.

I would like to see some competition to them though, might see a bit of a reduction in fees.

I purchased a Fuji A340 from someone else (another site) after finding out that the ebay price is about 3-4 dollars more after shipping.

Yep ... hard to find stuff. Anything that's easy to get retail isn't worth the trouble of going through eBay.

I like to look for oddball used stuff, there's lots of crap on eBay now & lots of scammers.

& if eBay doesn't get a handle on the Nigerian scammer types, they should be flogged.

Of my last 4 high $ items sold, 3 of them were won by scammers, it's a pain in the ass to report them, and then to convince the 2nd highest bidder you're not pulling a scam yourself:|
