[Boatanchors] Epay values

Thu Mar 7 13:13:40 EST 2019

I have a 100% rating and I plan to keep it that way. I buy a lot off
ebay, from nickle and dime stuff to hundreds of dollars when I see a
good deal. ButI won't sell anything under my primary account and risk
getting negative feedback because of scammers. Yeah, I've got plenty
of stuff I could really do without, all of it working perfectly, but
I'll sell it at a hamfest face to face over ebay.

For me it’s like an exchange system, things I don’t need anymore get sold to someone that wants them and I get things someone else has no need for.  Maybe I’ve gotten a sixth sense about buyers and sellers but 99.9% of my transactions have been great.  Just my opinion.
