Sorry Bill, this query is a tad off-topic, but I can report
back with results if they are appropriate. I'm doing a story
(reporting) on online auctions. Since a lot of rara-avis
subscribers have been buying hardboiled books and magazines
at online auctions, I would appreciate hearing offlist from
some of you who have a good story to share. I'm looking for
essentially two things:
(1) great success stories--"I couldn't find x, then got it on
auction; [or] I got a great deal" (2) fraud or speculation
anecdotes--"I got ripped off; [or] I got caught in bidding
fever and then found the item more cheaply elsewhere."
Thanks. Next week, I'll try to get back to people who contact
me.
