[TheForge] The heartbreak of...

[Bruce .]

On ebay, to attract attention, you use words that bring people in.
Otherwise, folks don't find your listing and you get squat for your
item.

Also note that it's listed as a "collectable."  The different
categories cost different amounts.  Back a few years when I was
posting items, I quickly learned NEVER to list anything as an
"antique" even if it truly was one.  Listing it as a "collectable"
cost less.  I haven't kept up with their rates, so don't know that
this still holds true.

ebay works hard to screw its sellers, so I don't mind thwarting their rules.
