I still like sBay an similar systems. At least they secure the
process a bit - like in an ordinary auction. And auctions are,
for shure, no place for rare or most wanted items. Not VL and
not RL. But they are a good thing to get fair prices for some
unusual or common things. I bought some rare spare parts via
eBay for just cents (and a brand new never opened never used
complete Mac IIsi for less than 100 USD :). But the best hits
are always on ordinary swap markets (flea markets) (like today
*g*) - even electronic swaps tend to have high prices.
