[Boatanchors] Epay values

[Tom Chesek]

So many pretend to despise eBay by using euphemisms such as epay etc. , but as many know it has brought together many buyers and sellers who would never had made a connection without the venue. I agree that the fees have grown too much but where would we be without it? We would be searching hamfests and maybe never finding what we want.

I rarely use the Bay any more. When I do, I just decide in advance how 
much I am willing to pay and bid appropriately (as I have always done). 
If somebody else wants an item more than I do then I drop out. I have 
never overpaid for anything. I think I have paid fair prices. I have 
seen others overpay for something but never saw the seller complain 
about that :)
