IMO, people who put up an article on Ebay first and then tell everybody in
the LUG to go and have a crack at it is like someone who wants his cake and
eat it.
I see it as an unfriendly and selfish act within a forum of people who
generally have a common interest and comraderie. 

Then there are those who put an article for sale in the LUG and then add,
"I am offering this for sale before I put it on Ebay." What does this
imply? I get the message that we are given one chance to make good the
purchase (and better do it quick). Otherwise, whoever it is is going to get
a better deal on Ebay.
Ebay seems to have succeeded in bringing out the worse in human behavior.
