[ARC5] [Milsurplus] [Vintage-Military-RADAR] A New eBay Screing

I bid on the first connector w/o ANY reference to the 'cart'. eBay says
that winning a sale is a contract, so un-carting is not possible, AFAIK.

I wonder how much business a REAL store would get if you were forced to
buy everything you put in a shopping cart? I'd bet very little.

As I said, it's a screwing.

If anyone complains about anything, it's the old story ...  "Take your
business to another 'phone company."
