shouldn’t care if post a link that’s directly related to the item
your selling and it not a commercial web site. I just updated my About Me (me
not ME) page to include a link to Groo.com. I had one on there since I created
the About Me page, but in this last incarnation I did not put it in. Did I err?

if you want I can put a listing in my store for a fixed price. The good things
about that, it is always up and at a fixed price. The cost is a whole .06 a
month plus 10% final value fee. Plus, I am GROO. Poor thing it won’t show
in the main search, Groo always has too many listings. I think even if posting
it in as a Fixed Price sale (7-10 days), which should show up in a main search,
and may be cheaper than an auction. (I don’t use Fixed Price sales). I
still could post in my store and have you drop ship it. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Folks!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Well,
I've decided to put the generic membership cards on ebay. Shawn & Shawn
make some very good points and fortunately it looks like no one else who bought
one at the Con is turning around and selling it. But I thought that Rick also
made some really good points about it possibly being a recruiting tool for the
Groop and a promotional opportunity for Groo. So more than actually selling the
cards, that's what the text of the ebay sale is going to be directed at. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I
was told that ebay would get all bent out of shape if I really promoted the
Groop and Groo by naming the groo.com website and dark horse comics, so i had
to modify my original text. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Anywho,
I hope you all don't mind. And remember, you guys all got personalized cards. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
