The only problem I see with a web site we could go to is that these auction environments only last for 3 to 7 days. Then the auction is over. By having such a wonderful person as Barbara send the information to us, it helps to assure that it's current when we get it. Barbara, I've found two books thanks to your work that I'd love to have. Unfortunately the first one was actually two VERY large volumes and I figured the postage would break my feeble bank even without the auction price. The other one may still be on sale come payday -- there's still hope there!! -----Original Message----- From: Davidson [SMTP:davidson@oceana.net] Sent: Sunday, March 28, 1999 1:21 PM To: Family_Bibles-L@rootsweb.com Subject: ebay Hi again, Barbara and listmembers: Personally, I think it is a shame you feel you have to make a compromise. I would much prefer getting the information from email as many times I only connect to let my mail come in and then disconnect so I do not tie up our busy phone line. This option will not be very convenient for me but I still appreciate your great efforts. I have a suggestion but I don't know enough about computers and mail lists to know if it would be feasible or not. Why couldn't we form a list that dealt with items for sale or lost or found items on anything to do with family history? Then whenever someone goes to a site and finds something they could post it there. You could post your ebay items and others who surf could post info found at other auctions or sites. Those of us who are interested in finding these type of items (and for the life of me, I cannot understand who wouldn't be!!) could subscribe to the list. Perhaps this would not be possible for some reason (spam?) but I have often wondered why there couldn't be one site that us researchers couldn't go to to list or find these types of items. Just my opinion. Mary davidson@oceana.net
