[Boatanchors] eBay references on the list (was nix SX-115)

[John Page]

     You make a good point about being able to see the item for sale as this 
list does not allow pictures. However, anyone interested could ask the 
seller for a direct download of the pictures.
     Problem with that is the seller could get covered up with requests for 
pictures. Takes a long time to fill all those requests. Now I know some are 
going to say, " put them on your web site". But I am sure all of us dont 
have a web site.
     I for one dont object to the occasional post of a "seen on epay" ad. 
But then I also sell on epay. But I dont ever list a "look at this " ad 
here.
     You cant list something for sale here and epay at the same time. And 
you will have to admit that there are far more prospective buyers there than 
here.
     That being said, maybe a limit of 2 refences per month per list member. 
Just a thought. Its not like Duane doesnt have enough to do already. I just 
thought that with a limit of 2, anymore than that would be obvious and then 
Frogzilla could rain locust on the perpetrater or whatever.
     Just my 3 cents worth. Inflation and all. John
