I have used eBay, and still do from time to time.  I guess we feel "close
knit" here and trust one another, and hope that an item such as that would
be offered to the members before it's brought to the public and some
collector that might want it who will never even use it.  I don't know...
 I'll let others speak on this for now and see what happens.
