I think I'll just stick with my present bumbling method of putting my card on something overpriced that I see. The card states that I admired the item and requests the ultimate purchaser call me when they're ready to sell at yard sale. |

Sorry to interrupt the commerce, which is doubtless the kind of trading that made America great. But I have a question. Why would you enter a list of everything you own into a database if you didn't want to sell it? You need a better method of data entry. |
|
|
[pottedstu] - maybe we should all HAVE to enter all our possessions' in a big-brother, psuedo communistic for the better of the nation kind of thing. |
|
|
Except that the whole have/not have, buy/sell thing is quite clearly capitalism. |
|
|
This way we all know what every one owns and so we can all get jealous of our neighbours. And steal from them. |

Why would you attempt to buy something that isn't for sale? |
|
|
Reason for the idea is I'm selling everything I own on e bay
- due to, oh you know, the usual - and its taking some
time. |
|
|
Have:
- Room for rent
- Easton Press leather-bound Presidents series of books

Need:
- Roommate who likes cats and dogs and cleans house better than I do (although I'm a great cook!)

|
welcome deeman, I have the opposite problem....I spend too much money on e-bay.... |
|
|
runforrestrun - do e bay items labelled RARE tempt you? |
|
|
actually, no, most of my *favorite searches* include the word "vintage". Mostly photos, photo postcards, books, and stamps....all with particular themes related to several interests of mine. but, if you e-mail me your e-bay screen name, I will see what you're selling. |
|
|
Tut tut [howard] - that's widely baked. |
