This discussion inspired me to try this process to see if its as troublesome as indicated. It seems fairly easy to me. This might be because I'm using a superior browser: Opera.
I simply clicked on your link, and when Opera loaded the page I clicked the save button on the toolbar. (I could have also used the menu.) One dialog box popped up saying it would save to desktop. I changed that to documents file and clicked the save button in the box. That was all there was to it. It's about as difficult at saving a document in Word or any other program.
To see if it worked, I turned off my internet connection, shut down Opera (unnecessary step--I just wanted to see if it would open by itself again), and went and found the file and clicked on it. Opera opened. The entire page with all the photos appeared. There didn't seem to be any hitch.
This seems straightforward to me. Do other browsers make this difficult?

Does your result allow you to click between the photos of an auction? Did you go to a current ebay auction that had multiple little thumbnails (such that if you click on them, they enlarge the photo)? After you saved it, closed your browser, then open the saved document, were you able to still click the thumbnails, toggling between the various little photos to enlarge them?
That is what I was looking for.
I tried three of the methods so far (the free ones) as suggested by members of the list. All three saved the entire page as it was. However, none of them allowed me to click between the thumbnail photos to see an enlarged view. Possibly the more costly solutions would have provided that result. Then I began to wonder if maybe the auction was too old, and what I was bringing up was already in my computer tucked away somewhere.
So, in my last post, I asked if anyone would be able to go to that auction and confirm if it and its links were still there. Having not gotten any takers, I found a current auction with linking photos, used the steps as suggested by Stanton, and this time it worked. So I'm guessing that my auction I was trying to archive is no longer there.
Incidentally, my son says that IE on his Windows computer allows him to save this way from the "add page to favorites" option, in case anyone wanted to know that. On a Mac, as Stanton explained, it goes through the "save as" dialogues.
Thanks, Claire
