Certainly, I didn't want it to seem as though this was
"bad". Al Kossow has won an auction of mine and I
think he does have a website with very useful stuff on
it. Ebay is a fairly pure form of capitalism. It's
just me crying in my beer about not having pockets as
deep. Still, if one gets lucky, and finds something
misclassified or I can catch someone sleeping
(sometimes literally, at 2:00 AM), bargains can STILL
be had on eBay.
