Judge DredMy opinion - for what it's worth... not much...
Mike Wheat has a heck of an inventory and perhaps his prices are a bit high and the stated conditions may be his subjective interpretation but this whole thing about ebay and freebies has got to be thrown at ebay... let them know that the freebie postings are an intrusion and that it's a pain to have to go through all of it so you wont miss something that gets stuck in the middle...
Offer ebay an alternative solution... suggest to them that freebie days are good but they might want to consider a few restrictions:
1) NO BUY IT NOW STUFF
2) NO MINIMUM PRICE SET ON THE ITEM (LETS SAY IT CAN'T BE MORE THAN $9.99 TO START)
3) NO RESERVE PRICE
Remind them that they are an auction site and that in the spirit of it all it would be neat to see ebay limit there freebies to true auction material.
I can almost figure out how ebay would feel about this - lost potential revenue on the sale of items. I figure in the spirit of it all it would be nice to let a little goodwill take place of a few bucks (ok, maybe it's a lot of bucks).
By the way, a little rustoleum just might clean up that Cobb disc...
