Default Ebay finds

Though I have posted a couple of 'finds' on this thread in the now distant past, I have slowly been changing attitude & been questioning why we actually give advertising to items from people with no connection to MLU. If there are pieces that someone particularly want, they will already be searching (and finding) these. Wouldn't this thread potentially punish people who have put in the work and bid discretely, while assisting those not wishing to do the searching themselves.

Of course, this view of mine is obviously VERY one sided, due to number of times that I have found, bid and then something skyrocket in price and interest, in the hours since posting of details here. I suspect I would not be the only one this has happened to, including the subsequent cursing following auction close.

I expect this post will result in replies along the lines of 'for the benefit of all' but I really don't see it that way, sorry. If you're keen you will be finding for yourself, no?

If an item is from or has relation to a MLU member, that's different. Then it's fair promotion and opportunity for Q&A.

This post will be unpopular, I know, but this is how it seems to me.

Guys & Girls.....I calls it like I sees it!
