Saving your own life (on eBay)
Illovox Media [EMAIL PROTECTED] rightly wrote, regarding Ebay deals-Save your own life From: Tom Meade I think I like this post, but can you break it down a bit? Think 12th grade English, just for kicks... Tom's reply: Thank you. This was just my gibberish for many points others are making here on setting expectations for an eBay purchase. It's a wild (free), unregulated market - I'd like to see it continue that way. Rather than high school English, a 96 year old's words may be eloquent (on a case with strong parallels to eBay): Judge Milton Pollock, who dismissed the case against Merrill Lynch, characterized the aggrieved investors as high-risk speculators who now hope to twist the federal securities laws into a scheme of cost-free speculators insurance, saying that the law wasnt designed to encourage a freewheeling casino that lured thousands obsessed with the fantasy of Olympian riches, but which delivered such riches to only a scant handful of lucky winners. on 7/15/03 10:16 AM, Tom Meade at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: No one should expect Ebay to make a market in goods where robust markets already exist. In the case of current models, web and brick retailers do that. What common sense support can there be to expect a significant discount from the existing markets when distribution is robust? Scooping up? Lacking this support, proceed with great caution. I sold three Duos, 2300 and 2400, because it was the logical market after Duo distribution faded away. Likewise it makes sense to consider a recent PB at a price that passes the smell test - just look at the deal from all points of view, and - good luck! -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
