If I'm running something unusual and want to attract some possible attention, for people who, like myself, can't search eBay for every possible chip, every few days. I run eBay auctions about once a month, if I have time.

After that, I agree with you Gabby and Jim. There are some people who in the last five years, haven't posted one message with information, a scan for help or a response to a question, but post their sales and auctions, over and over.

You will soon notice some people who are seldom on the BB and when they are, it's only to promote or sell. After awhile, you just skip all their messages.

But with the "bad" comes some good. I might see something for sale, that I would have missed, because I really can't spend five hours a day searching eBay for my specific interests.

Hey Gabby, welcome!
