[TheForge] selling on ebay

[Dann]

On ebay, I bought a rare -out of print-  book.  I had been trying to 
find it on Amazon, so was on the Amazon  waiting list too.   When 
I  finally found it on Amazon,  my ebay price turned into a real deal.

Anyway, the Ebay  seller probably got it for a  dime, as the 
book  was stamped as cull book from a California library.    The Ebay 
Point is one man's junk is another man's treasure.   Like garage sale 
stuff,  you can get lucky  both on the buying and selling.  Everyone 
can be a winner!
