Ebay Auctions
Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2004 3:26 pm
Hi folks
I was going to post a link to page where we've listed selected auctions that we thought would be of interest to whip crackers and collectors (not to mention Indy whip fans). The idea being to update it once or twice a week as we find new listings that we think are worth bidding on.
However, I just read the policy about Ebay and, as none of the auctions are our own, I don't want to upset anyone.
The idea was prompted by the number of people we come across who buy what they think is a decent whip at a bargain price and then lose heart when they can't get it to do all things a decent whip should do - or when it starts to fall apart.
As we've been playing the auction game for a few years now, we figured we could help to avoid some of the pit falls by hosting a page with links to quality new whips, interesting auctions and secondhand bargains (as opposed to second hand things to avoid). So people who maybe don't know a lot about whips and are operating on a tight budget can keep checking back for bargains; and collectors can pick up a whip they might otherwise miss.
Plus of course, a few of the folk here also sell on Ebay, so it would be pluses all round (we earn a whole 6 pence if someone follows a link and places a bid).
Anyway, if the moderators give me the go ahead, I'll...er... go ahead, and post it here. If not, I'll be happy to send the link to anyone who sends me a private message.
Cheers
Dave
