[R-390] R-389 Sold For $3550.00 on eBay

[DW Holtman]

E-Pay is in business to make money. They do very well, their business 
model is outstanding. If people are looking at an item, they know when 
the item closes and the time limit  to place a bid.

I'm not always happy with the prices, and the morals of many sellers, 
however, it is my option not to bid. But, living in Salt Lake City I can 
get a hold of a  lot of equipment and parts that other wise would be 
unavailable. If I buy something from someone that is running a 99% 
favorable feedback, that is pretty good. I think that the return rate on 
new comsumer electronics would be higher tham 1%. However, many sellers 
now do not post positive feedback when they receive money, they wait for 
positive feedback to come their way. That kind of puts a gun to the 
buyers head and probably distorts the feedback system.

Best,
D Holtman
