[R-390] Ebay Auction

[Cecil Acuff]

You didn't do anything I didn't do.  I am a Ham and I am not a cheapo. (that 
label is not universal)  I have no problem paying for quality and own top 
notch gear. I like nice stuff!  But it's pretty simple...I can buy a widget 
from vendor "A" for $100 or I can buy the same widget from vendor "E" for 
$35....

Yup...free market is good!  Paying more for something than you should 
doesn't ensure you stay out of the "Cheapo" club...but will certainly put 
you into a completely different club.

You name it!

Just my opinion though....

Cecil...
