A real shopping experience beats eBay anyday

Iam constitutionally unsuited to shopping on eBay. First there’s the palaver of registering for the site where you must choose “a great user ID”, which generally means the kind of moniker you might find in a Valentine’s Day small ad: Fluffybunkins9 loves MrWidgit7’s Teasmaid.
