Is it just me, or does anyone else think that eBay is just an online jumble
sale? Not that I have anything against jumble sales - I can often be found
rummaging about in charity shops - but it seems to me that there are a lot
of people who are happy to use eBay, but wouldn't be seen dead at Oxfam. Its
the same thing, isn't it? You're buying someone else's cast-offs? So why is
buying from eBay alright, while buying from a charity shop is something that
only old ladies who smell of lavender and mint imperials do?

Would anyone like to hazard a guess why there's not much traffic in these
newsgroups...?

You forgot the permeating smell of incontinence pads, partial hidden by the 
smell of Dove which hasn't been rinsed off properly.........

Sweat. That's another good one. And it doesn't pay you to breath too deeply
when you're walking past the shoe bit either!

I've never bought anything myself (actually, I've only looked at the site
once and I couldn't be arsed to plough through it!), but I know a few people
who buy and sell. They think it's grand. But, like I said, at least half of
those people wouldn't go into a charity shop 'in real life'. They'd be too
embaraased.

I'd be interested to see if charity's report falling revenues since the rise
in popularity of eBay.

I did wonder what a 'concumer' was. I thought it was some new and trendy
term for eBayers

I love charity shops for records, you can't beat buying a copy of Jeff Love
and his orchestra or one of the top40 hits sung buy other no hopers.

I always feel really sorry for 'big' stars when their stuff ends up in
charity shop bins.

Perhaps I need to get a life...

I wonder if they sell them in Help The Aged...

So you wouldn't be in the market for this highly valuable and very rare New
Kids On The Block CD, then? I'll give you a good price for it.

I've got a signed copy of DH Lawrence's 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', printed 
in 1960. 

I'll give you sixpence for it

Aw, I've already got one of those. It's a bit newer than yours, though.

Is that a hint at me there sis? I admit I am not into charity shops but love
ebay, although in fairness to me I do only buy little man's buses from there
and I wouldn't buy any second hand clothes as that is not for me.
