    This is it ..I'm done with ebay

    Used to search once a day, now once a week, I think now I'm done..
    The fake parts and bogus stories, overpriced junk and flat out crooks.
    I'm sick of the whole business.

    Extra rare US WW2 ,Wood M1 carbine 1940's. about 15.5' | eBay

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    That is pretty funny.

    I don't buy much from ebay anymore either. But once in a while if you look you will find something. I looked at a lot of houses and cars before buying too. All the hiden repairs or home owner repairs. I'm not giving up just yet.

    That stuff is typical of gun shows too, but that hasn't scared us off yet...

    Its not really ebay, or Gunbroker, or whatever. Its the people listing there. Unfortunately, the lying and cheating are simply reflections of the character of the sellers. You still find honest reliable sellers, but I admit it takes almost a sixth sense to pick them out.

    E-Bay story, I just got three G.I. slings, two D tip and one that had a D tip on one end and C tip on the other. They came with eleven tan medical pouches for $29.00 delivered. They were listed with Jeep parts, go figure, the add did not mention slings and I was the only bidder. Dirty but I think they will clean up nice.....Frank

    Once they (I mean PayPal and Ebay) started withholding funds until the buyer received the item and said it was good-to-go by logging in I pretty much deep-sixed Ebay.
