[Leica] M3 Camera outfit up for Auction Renders Me Nauseated

[Buzz Hausner <Buzz@marianmanor.org>]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I find flogging one's own e-Bay
auction on this list to be smarmy and it gives me a bad taste in my mouth.
I think it is perfectly fine to offer items for sale to LUG subscribers
before offering them up on the e-Bay altar, but to start an auction and than
ask LUG subscribers to participate I find quite distasteful.  However, this
is only my opinion and I am certain many of you will disagree with me.
