I must be missing something about the "advantages" of using Ebay, based
on it's tremendous popularity, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.
The entire thing is set up so that the middle man (Ebay) can make money
on a transaction. That's all well and good, for Ebay, and I'm sure this
procedure attracts a whole bunch of people based on Ebay's financial
position, but I just don't get the attraction.

Unless your hanger neighbor happens to be in the market for what you
are selling and is willing to pay a good price, ebay makes sense. You
have a lot of people that are bidding up the value of what you are
selling. Many of the items on ebay would never find a buyer otherwise.
Its not like you're going to put up a sign at the airport, asking if
anyone wants an old Narco radio.
