Merchandise moves according to agreement between a willing buyer and a willing seller. It is not relevant whether the items sold on Ebay are above, equal to or below market. That is the business of a willing buyer and a willing seller with the auction process as the trade level vehicle. IMO, what is relevant is the availability of the LUG chat room as a junk mail recipient of unsolicited listings of items on Ebay. I am interested in the information, experiences and work product Luggers have to share. References to Ebay are not consistent with that.
