"Mike Czuhajewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the qrplist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There was another eBay reference on QRP-L a day or two ago, where someone posted the URL for a completed auction, followed shortly by a "wow!" comment from someone else. If the mere mention of eBay is supposed to be a bad thing, why was there no warning from the moderator? I am quite sure that this is not a double standard, since if I ask Jim about it he would be glad to explain the apparent conflict.
PS--this was a roll of solder, about a pound, I think, that sold for over five hundred dollars! But this wasn't just ANY old solder, it was Western Electric house brand (ooooooh, ahhhhhhh), never available to the public, and not just any old WE solder at that. It came from a specific foundry, which produced WE solder that was superior to that from a later WE foundry in a different state. And when it's gone, it's gone for good!!! As I seem to recall, the item description even had a phrase to the effect of "keep your Western Electric equipment all Western Electric." If you check the bidding history, it looks like the old scenario of two rivals repeatedly outbidding each other, "that sum-bitch ain't gonna win THIS time even if I have to pay 200 times what it's worth!" PS--it's been said many times that Al Waller of qsl.net has specifically banned mention of eBay on any and all lists, but if that was ever true it is not true now, according to some e-mail that Jim Lowman sent me a while back. He now leaves it up to individual list admins, and Jim chooses to have the ban. Or apparent ban. 73 and queue our pea DE WA8MCQ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Behalf of "Mike Czuhajewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe qrplist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
