davidwiz Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 Why would you use eBay in the first place. They hate guns, but see nothing wrong w/ allowing people to sell kiddie porn, pirated software, music and movies, and a whole host of other illegal items.

Duane Thomas Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I'm seriously considering using eBay to sell some of my thousands of comic books. If not eBay, then what? Is there really a viable option on the 'net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 They have tightened restrictions, probably just because they kept geting sued fby countries all over the world by things people put up for sale. They deleted illegal content as fast as they can, when they get that many listings it's impossible to be 100%. The latest one in India, that they removed, but evidently not fast enough, got thier chief honcho over there arrested. With all the different states/countries laws regarding firearms and parts, can you really blame them? GunBroker, etc.. is a better place for those. Comic books... eBay! I've had good luck there... but like other threads talk about... people lose all sense of value vs price.. You'll probably get too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 I use eBay to generate revenue which, in turn, can: --Pay the rent --Pay the electric bill --Pay the phone bill --Pay for food --Pay for clothes --Pay for books/tapes/CDs --Pay for car insurance --Pay for computer stuff --Pay for petrol --Pay for primers --Pay for bullet stock --Pay for range fees --Pay for, well, you know... just about ANYTHING that requires cash. I by no means support myself solely on eBay sales, but I could if I wanted to. It works that well sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.Hayden Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 I thought you'd hate that... I saw a $125 Wal-Mart gift card go for $127.50... why in the hell would someone do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
