Wasn't sure this made it to the list...thanks Connie....I also noticed eBay has a the *items are guaranteed* on their site...that sure doesn't fall in line with that case....Char ----- Original Message ----- From: Connie Sunnarborg Sent: Saturday, January 20, 2001 7:21 AM To: * Charlotte Subject: Re: [COATES-L] Fw: Coats family Char, The person that sent that email to you is the seller. I buy & sell on eBay all the time. YES it is buyer beware, but the parties can be judged by their feedback. I have not personally bought anything from this seller, but would feel safe doing so based on his/her feedback rating. I would advise any novice bidders out there to wait until the last day of the auction before placing a bid.
