Well, wait a minute... eBay is far from perfect -- but --it is what it is -- a marketplace. There are honorable merchants, thieves, morons, lunatics, and everything in between. I buy and sell there all the time. It takes some practice to pick your way through the weeds, and I still get burned once in a while (not like I used to) -- but it's fun, usually profitable, and I think it's indispensable. As a matter of fact, I have some interesting shaving items up right now......
