Having sold stuff on E-bay I usually respond to this:
         "So you want to wait three to ten days, maybe get more
          maybe less, wait for some payment, or maybe not, and
          box it up and get it mailed, and then deal with the
          jerks who either don't pay or claim you mislead them,
          and then deal with the mail system going south or
          Ebay goes down. What are you a masochist? I'll give
          you $X for this and it will walk away on its own power
          and you'll have coin in your pocket. So what's it
          going to be?"
