[TMC] eBay References

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Groups,

This is prompted by several recent posts to various of these lists.  I'll 
probably get two or three hate emails from that 1% minority of list members 
making high five and six figure 21st Century salaries who hate eBay because they 
think they should still be able to buy radios for what they would have paid 
45-60 years ago  when they were making mid-20th Century salaries.  But...  

I suggest the following when mentioning an eBay item that might be of general 
interest to the subscribers of any of these lists.  Just post the item 
number, not the URL or link.  The various list servers tend to butcher the link 
anyway, and if they don't, many email handlers do.  99% of those who would bother 
to go and look have eBay's link in their browser's Favorites list.  The 
default field that comes up on eBay's home page is the simple search field.  If you 
copy the item number from the incoming email and past it in there, you will 
get to the item 100% of the time.  And over the long haul, in the minimum number 
of mouse clicks.
