That must be a very short list because after a few minutes I gave up trying to find it! Let me know if I'm hiding on it anywhere.<BR>
<BR>
So, am I weird for only bidding on items on ebay which I don't already have? Granted, I occassionally buy stuff for my nephews, and even bought some comics from another Usagi fan because she was in enough financial distress as to resort to even selling her beloved Usagi comics, but as far as my collection goes, I have never been interested in buying duplicate items.<BR>
<BR>
I guess that means Yodazone has first dibs on most of the neat stuff that goes up for sale...... :)<BR>
<BR>
Abayo.....<BR><BR>
(Sorry for the duplicate, Tone!)<BR>
<BR>> From: Tone@moon-shine.net<BR>> To: groop@groo.com<BR>> Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2007 19:44:14 -0400<BR>> Subject: [Groop] eBay names<BR>> <BR>> I was wondering if anyone is interested in seeing the list of<BR>> eBay names I have from people in the Groop. I know there are now some<BR>> new members, especially since the Comic Cons in San Diego and Baltimore,<BR>> so it might be time for an update.<BR>> <BR>> The reason why I figure it would be cool for Groopies to share<BR>> their eBay names is because if someone really wants a particular Groo<BR>> item enough to be constantly keeping and eye out for it and eventually<BR>> is able to put in the first bid when the item does appear on eBay, then<BR>> I would like to think his or her fellow Groopies might be nice enough to<BR>> not get into a bidding war.<BR>> I know a system like this is based on faith in each other, so<BR>> some of you might have difficulty trusting such an arrangement, but I<BR>> can honestly tell you I have definitely stopped myself from bidding on<BR>> eBay items with bids from other buyers, who I recognized as Groopies.<BR>> Generally I let those people know, and over time I have discovered a<BR>> relationship forms where those involved look out for Groo finds for the<BR>> other. On the flip side to that, it seems Groopies, who deal with each<BR>> other in a civil manner regarding eBay matters, also keep note of nasty<BR>> eBay competitors (Groopie or not) and warn each other, etc.<BR>> I know it might be hard for some people to stand off if they see<BR>> a very rare Groo item, which they do not yet have in their collection.<BR>> However, if a Groopie already has a certain item and they have an<BR>> interest in possibly obtaining an extra, I would hope they would at<BR>> least stand off if they noticed a fellow Groopie, who is bidding on an<BR>> item they might not yet have. That policy seems to work pretty<BR>> effectively among Groopies I have corresponded with.<BR>> <BR>> Anyway, if anyone is new to the Groop, has changed their eBay<BR>> name, or never provided me with their eBay name in the first place feel<BR>> free to share your eBay name with us. Below is the list of Groopies,<BR>> whose eBay names I have. Obviously if you are already on the list do not<BR>> bother providing your name (this will save me time in compiling<BR>> everything sooner). In a week or two after getting some more Groopie<BR>> eBay names, I will repost the list.<BR>> <BR>> _TONE_<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Groop mailing list<BR>> Groop@groo.com<BR>> http://mailman.newdream.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/groop<BR><BR><br /><hr />Climb to the top of the charts!
