[s-cars] More S6 ebay items.../No more!

[Lee Levitt]

Darren,

If you want to benefit the list, let the list know *before* you 
post the stuff on ebay. Make a comprehensive list of what you have 
available, post the *availability* of that list *once* to the 
mailing list and work with people offline.

I run another automotive list and I will unsub anyone who posts 
links to ebay listings. I also encourage people to inform one 
another about items they have of interest.

One way you're providing a service to your fellow listmembers, the 
other you're simply spamming to drive traffic to your ebay 
listings and to increase *your* price at auction end.

Oh, and by the way, most of us are savvy enough to have googlebots 
and ebay automated searches running so that when a ceramic coated 
RS2 exhaust manifold is posted on ebay or craigslist, we know 
about it :)

How do you think I found my Litespeed Blue Ridge (*and* knew that 
the seller had been unsuccessfully trying to sell it for 3 months 
prior to posting it on ebay?)

Lee
