RE: [AMD] AD; 1/200 Hasegawa Airliners for sale

Hi Keith,

Thanks for your comments, and I suggest that all eBay postings should include "eBay" in the subject line.

I feel I am giving AMD members "first choice" by passing along a note that I've placed an item of interest on eBay. However, there is no way I'm going to offer an item at a fixed price on AMD prior to eBay sale. Sorry, but I've been burned too many times by promised sales that never materialize, and feel I really need the support structure of eBay. Don't blame me, blame a few of our current or past AMD members.

I don't personally post "links" on any of my eBay sales, just a short note that an item or items are available from eBay. Perhaps one in 20 of my eBay airliner sales are to people I recognize from AMD.

As to "other groups", none of the 13 modelling Yahoo groups in my profile prohibit notes of eBay sales.

Well, Gerry, this is one of the very few groups or forums that I personally am a member of that still allows members to post links to e-bay sales. And of the others that do, the etiquette is at least to offer the group members the sales items at a fixed price first to avoid the ridiculous feeding frenzy that can occur on that certain auction site. And if it is a rare item, by all means set the price at a fair level that reflects its value - but at least give the group first go! If there's no interest from the group, then by all means stick it on fee-bay.

Just my opinion of course! (but, as I said, it does seem to agree with that of the 'owners' of most of the other groups/forums (fora?!) I frequent!)
