Ok. Go ahead a bid who ever wants to. I have just been
posting what looks interesting.
I have been out of work since Oct 1997 and trying to get
on disability. So I can't bin on anything till I get things
straightened out financially.
Cheer.

on this list
Hi Folks,
Thanks Gary for bringing these things to the list! :) Just as a thought,
there are other lists I am on that do this same thing and it might be nice
if one (or more) of you is interested in bidding on the item to let the
list
know so that we aren't bidding against one another and losing
money on the
proposition :) In other words if I want this item, I'd tell the list that
I"m going to bid on it (I'm not) and if Gary also wanted it he and I could
work out something whereby one of us bids on it and the other gets copies
or
something like that. That way we don't drive the price up just
by bidding
against one another. Ebay is a great site and quite often they have older
books and sometimes even things like birth/death/marriage certificates for
sale as well as other "general" stuff like antiques, electronics, computer
items, even cars! I personally love the site and recommend it to anyone
interested in getting a good deal. Ok, enough said! Thanks again Gary!
