<A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/jmtindex.htm">Response</A> to question about bidding on Ebay historical documents. - Hi Jodi, You may well pay through the nose. Prices get very inflated. I buy the antique postcards of my three counties. I collect them, but primarily buy them to use on the site. I get very offended when people who are using them just for their own personal collections, which they do not share with the public as I do - or worse to resell them at inflated prices, outbid me. Yes, I consider my cause above theirs, I confess it. I can only hope that none of these people are guests at my site or list or that if they are, they will share those postcards (scanned images) with me. (I have received one scan of a card a guest purchased on Ebay, so the sharing thing is not common) I have bid on wills of people in the area of my Sullivan-Rutland Genealogy Project for historical preservation and have been outbid by people whose motives are very different from mine. I have stopped bidding for now. I think it is inflating the price of materials with valuable historical contributions. Joyce M.
