I'm afraid so.

Perhaps this is unpopular around here, but I am strongly in favor of more auctions. I find the buy it nows are almost always overpriced as a buyer, and boring as a seller.


I also find it quite reasonable that stuff sells easier via auction than fixed price. Ebay makes their money off of sales, not insertions.

Look, the jackholes at eBay can do whatever they want and I have nothing against auction listings, but I despise weasel-speak. Don't piss down my back and tell me it is raining.

My favorite line from "Outlaw Josey Wales" and John Landis stated that was the line that got John Vernon the part of Dean Wormer in "Animal House."
