OT: eBay HELL

OT: eBay HELL

2001-08-15 by Dharma Bummer

Hey there, just thought I'd pass along a little info
about a new Yahoo group I've started called eBay HELL.
 It's actually kind of an offshoot of the Combo Organ
mailing list; there was a subset of the group
(including myself) who were always posting links to
the most ridiculous, deceptive, cluless or pointless
eBay auctions we could find and making witty, vicious
commentary on the sellers.  As some of the Combo Organ
group members found this tiresome, disrespectful to
capitalism and off-topic, the action is now moving to
its own list.

So if you've ever seen an auction on eBay and said to
yourself, "You've gotta be freakin' KIDDING me!", this
list may be for you.  But be warned:  We are NOT nice
people!  :)

What an awesome idea. I'm there! I was wondering where I could share stuff
like this...

Sure, go for it.  Although I gotta say I'm not exactly
sure what the deal is with that auction, so you might
want to provide an explanation as well.  A lot of the
discussions on the combo organ elist had to do with
pretty obvious stuff like people calling a piano an
organ or vice versa, trying to claim some Magnus air
organ sounds like a Farfisa, trying to sell some
crappy grandma organ with a starting price of $50,000,
etc...  :)
