Howdy, boys:
Where I live the tractor junkyards are somewhere between rare and non-existant. Therefore, I have to use ebay. But, gee whiz, it is getting irksome. Some of these sellers really think they are better than the rest of us. Two of the things many of them do that bother me the most are:
1) "I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME AS ITEM IS FOR SALE LOCALLY." Well, no.... you really don't have the right to end the auction early. How is that fair to the bidder? What other auction will let you end early once your item is on the block, simply because someone locally wants it? Auctions were designed to be fair to both consignor and bidder - both to play by the same rules. I can't withdraw or abandon my bid if I find an item for sale locally - unless I want negative feedback. If you put your item on ebay, then TAKE IT OFF THE LOCAL MARKET UNTIL THE AUCTION IS OVER. If your reserve is not met, then put it up for sale locally again. Meantime, be fair to your bidders.
2) "I LEAVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK AFTER IT HAS BEEN LEFT FOR ME." Really! Gee, that's nice - FOR YOU. You've got my money and the item I won is still in your possession prior to shipment, and you still can't leave me positive feedback - after I've done everything a good buyer is supposed to do? What are you afraid of - that your description of the item was not accurate? So...., the only way I can get positive feedback is if I first leave it for you? That sure makes your feedback rather worthless, and to a lessor extent, makes mine suspect also. Tell you what; just don't leave me any feedback if those are the rules I have to play by in order to get good feedback. And, I won't leave any for you, either. And, "thanks" for ruining the value of feedback.
Sorry to vent, guys. But, this ebay is fast becoming a one-sided crap-shoot because of these self-centered ego maniac sellers. It's their one chance in life to play God, I suppose. mike durhan

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked
