[GreenKeys] eBay

[Steve Garrison]

I guess I'm just an old dog jumping into the world of snipe hunting on eBay, but I'm afraid I don't understand the concept here.  Maybe someone could explain it to me.

As a young kid I can remember being invited to go on a snipe hunt with those older and wiser than me, and then when I got older, and I thought wiser, inviting those younger and less wise to go on a snipe hunt with me.

I need a "eBay for Dummies" in two or three sentences.  Or maybe it's just stay away from it all together.  Here lately I seem to be having no luck.
