At a show, I actually have a chance to buy the item. I have NEVER been
successful on Ebay -- always falling to some %$#@@ sniper who bids me up
$.25, one minute before closing. If I need something, Ebay is too
chancy. It goes to the %$#@ who have the sniping software. Real people
don't have the time to futz around all day.
That's my experience
