I will admit that when Ebay first when live, I was very skeptical about it. How can I trust the other person, that I know nothing about, will send me the item once I have paid for it? My landlord back then, an 85 year old American World War II veteran, Douglas Anderson, was fanatical about it. He was buying and selling, what sounded like, every week. I enjoyed the conversations as he basked in the glory of his sale, but never did I attempt it.
I have aged now. I have a minimalist approach to things. I don't need the CD/DVD cases, I don't need the books that I have read and I don't need the Netgear Router that I just sold. The buyer was a lady called Martina Lapunikova. It was sold for £7. I don't know if this was a 'good' sell. All I know is that I got it free, I am £7 richer and my garage is one item emptier. Ms. Lapunikova will hopefully find better use of this router. Everyone wins.
My love affair with Ebay has begun.
