Why I like Ebay
I think Ebay is a really great thing to come along, instead of old time things being thrown out, filling the dumps, it puts these otherwise unwanted articles in the hands of people, who collect them, and preserve there history. Anything, from vacuum tubes, to gas powered models. These are not in great enough demand to be produced anymore. People are playing video games, instead of building with their hands, and getting outdoors. The presevation of history, is important. I must include, that a lot of things, such as BB guns, are not illegal to mail, or to own. There are thousands of people that collect these, and because of ebays over strict, California (where everythings illegal) rules, many things are not able to be traded. A loss of income for Ebay, and collectors, and future generations of collectors. I imagine this opinion of mine has nullified, the great aspects of Ebay, I have written. What a shame you make the entire county run on California's rediculous policies.Lire l'avis complet...
