<< Quite a few CR members do not follow Ebay and others do not like purchasing through Ebay. In fact most of the items previously listed on Ebay are reduced.

I must say I agree with Hilary on this one.. Because of time constraints, I only rarely seek out eBay auctions. I depend upon chance references here on the CR or direct clues from friends (same thing!) If Hilary or anyone else offers goods on the CR the choices are three: you can buy it or no buy it or offer an amount you would be willing to pay. What could be wrong with that?
