IMHO, this is a hoax meesage, I think that eBay doing away with coin sales
is probably the best thing that could happen to us. Then all the small
coin sellers (me included) who are struggling away & putting up with their
nonsense would have to migrate somewhere else. And hopefully someone with
an ounce of brains would pick up the slack & provide us with the kind of
selling platform that we need.


Al's Coins

How did you operate before eBay?

Dunno about Al, but it was a lot harder for me back then ...

Keeping up a mailing list, printing up catalogs, mailing
them (bulk rate permit at one time ... over 1,000 customers
on my souvenir card price list alone), advertising heavily,
traveling to shows almost every weekend ... it wuz both
very expensive and quite exhausting.

Now, I can sell stuff on eBay whilst sitting in my office
in my bathrobe, and at a fraction of the expense. (Of course,
selling stuff via my website is even cheaper, but eBay is
still my second most cost-effective selling venue ...).

To paraphrase Chico Esquela, "eBay been berry, berry guud
to me!".

That's sort of what I was implying to Al.

Well, if you want to know what eBay has announced, where better to go
than to a newsgroup? You certainly wouldn't want to look at eBay's
Announcement Board, would you? Didn't think so.

This is untrue. Why are you harming our hobby and the eBay community by

The newsgroup does help people. It's the posters who are the problem.

It was the actor Garrett Morris (two T's in the first name), who played
the part of baseball player Chico Escuela on SNL.

killed him.

What part of Al's message indicates he came here to read eBay
announcements (as you so badly want to believe)? None, of course.
