If anyone in the ND legislature bothered to read the fine print of all the cosignment sellers on eBay, they call themselves bailees. We do. eBay is not or sole source selling items either. We will sell items thru whatever venue we think will generate the most money. In some cases, this is not eBay. Also, given that there are options for BIN or store listings, how can they claim that consignment sellers are auctioneers. The auctions don't resemble traditional auctions. I would think that offering a BIN would immediately nullify the notion of an auction since there is an aotion to buy the item outright. Then again, the law common sense don't meet too often.

Sometimes when I reflect on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams.
If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. I think, "It is better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."-- Babe Ruth
